Renewable & Low-Carbon Liquid Fuels Platform call for inclusion in Fit for 55 Package

In Belgium, members of the Renewable & Low-Carbon Liquid Fuels Platform in issuing the following joint call for action on the European Commission’s soon-to-be-published Fit for 55 package:

The European Commission’s Fit for 55 Package promises a bold new era in the fight against climate change, with proposed regulations to enable a 55% GHG emissions reduction target for 2030 and set the EU on course to achieve carbon-neutrality by 2050.

While the destination is clear, the Commission’s legislative pathways for reaching it are less so. The Fit for 55 package is expected to continue to underplay or even ignore the important contribution that renewable and low-carbon liquid fuels can make today, tomorrow and throughout this transition. But it is not too late for the Commission to seize the opportunity to deploy these proven solutions.

The members of the Renewable & Low-Carbon Liquid Fuels Platform – representing major associations operating in the EU liquid fuels value chain, from feedstock and fuel production to storage, supply and distribution – are committed to working together to contribute to the decarbonization of the mobility sector in a sustainable, affordable and socially inclusive way.
