ePURE: European renewable ethanol association

🤝 It’s not "OR", but "AND" – EU biorefineries produce fuel, feed and food. Despite common misconceptions, EU ethanol biorefineries play a crucial role in boosting Europe’s food and feed supply – all while providing low-carbon fuel. Discover how EU biorefineries are much more about synergies, and not divisions: https://lnkd.in/dDsFHBAf

✅ In 2023, renewable ethanol biorefineries have already saved more than 79% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels — a figure that only rises year on year. Meet Renzo de Roose, Plant Manager in a renewable ethanol biorefinery, as he explains how biorefineries can help reduce transportation emissions today:

🌾 What’s next for European farmers? With grain prices continuing to fall — by 28% in the first quarter of 2024 according to Eurostat — farmers' livelihoods and the vitality of our rural economy are at risk, with many reconsidering their future in agriculture. European biorefineries can be an important ally and source of income for farmers and help strengthen the EU's rural economy. Find out how 👇 https://lnkd.in/dDsFHBAf

Joint statement: An early revision of CO2 emission standards regulations should be driven by technology openness ePURE is one of several associations in the Network for Sustainable Mobility that have signed a joint statement calling for a revision of the CO2 standards regulations for vehicles in a way that recognises the necessity of a technology open approach, including the contribution of sustainable, renewable fuels (biofuels, e-fuels and more in general, fuels compliant with the Renewable Energy Directive), towards OEM’s CO2 reduction targets.

Soutenir le bioéthanol français c'est: - ACCÉLÉRER la décarbonation du parc automobile existant avec une alternative durable, locale, disponible et abordable au pétrole, - ENCOURAGER une filière dynamique et innovante avec par exemple les boîtiers de conversion homologués qui permettent aux véhicules essence de rouler au SuperEthanol E-85 ou encore la démonstration qui a été faite il y a quelques mois que nous pouvons produire en France un SuperEthanol E-85 100 % renouvelable pour decarboner encore plus les véhicules, - RÉDUIRE nos importations de pétrole et la facture énergétique associée, - SOUTENIR l'agriculture et l'économie circulaire pour FAIRE PLUS AVEC MOINS. La décarbonation du transport et tous les défis qu'elle pose dans un monde en transition requiert de mobiliser toutes les alternatives durables existantes, surtout lorsqu'elles sont locales et source d emplois.

✨ A better way to drive EU transport de-fossilisation 🚗 As the EU enters its next political phase – with a new European Commission and Parliament considering whether to tweak certain Green Deal policies – the time is right to rethink its approach to reducing transport emissions and give more of a role to sustainable liquid fuels such as renewable ethanol. 📰 Read our statement: https://lnkd.in/eqKAkADA

🏢 EU decarbonisation vs. competitiveness: can we find common ground?  Just weeks ago, Mario Draghi presented three priorities from his #CompetitivenessReport to the European Commission: fostering innovation, aligning decarbonisation with competitiveness, and enhancing Europe’s autonomy in the face of global challenges. The verdict? Urgent reforms are needed if we want to boost our competitiveness, drive innovation and achieve our renewable energy targets. ✅ EU ethanol biorefineries can be a key part of the solution and help bring this vision to life.

🔵 Merci au Ministre des Transports, Monsieur François DUROVRAY, pour son écoute lors de son passage sur le stand du Village du Bioéthanol ce mardi 15 octobre au Mondial de l’Auto - Paris 2024 où il a été accueilli par la filière française du bioéthanol, Alexandre Haack, Sylvain Demoures, Vincent GUILLOT, Nicolas Kurtsoglou ainsi que par les fabricants de boitiers E85 Alexis Landrieu de BIOMOTORS, Wim Calleeuw de eFlexFuel (StepOne Tech Ltd.) et Jerome Loubert de FlexFuel Energy Development France - FFED FRANCE.   La filière française du bioéthanol a rappelé ses deux principales demandes :   1️⃣ Le soutien de la France au niveau européen à l’inclusion des biocarburants durables aux côtés des e-fuels dans la définition des carburants neutres en carbone. L’Italie et 7 autres Etats Membres soutiennent déjà cette demande fondée sur la neutralité technologique. 2️⃣ La réactivation du projet d’homologation des boîtiers Superéthanol-E85 pour les motos, comme cela est déjà possible pour les voitures.

🚗 The race to zero emissions is on, but we still have a long way to go. As the EU's zero emissions deadline approaches, the pressure to reduce transport emissions has never been higher. With electric vehicles still out of reach for many and petrol and hybrid cars still accounting for 70% of the market (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA)), renewable ethanol remains a key player in Europe’s path to decarbonisation. 🔮 The future of fuels may be uncertain, but low-carbon solutions like ethanol can help us meet our targets on time: https://lnkd.in/dDsFHBAf

I was surprised to discover that the use of #renewableenergy in road transport —primarily #biofuels— in #Spain is significantly lower than in #Poland, even though Poland has a population that is 10 million less than Spain...it seems Spain has some catching up to do regarding energy taxation! https://lnkd.in/eEErGwiz Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico @EP_Industry @DG_CLIMA #biocarburantes
