🎉🎉 It’s that time of the year again in #Brussels! 85+ EWABA members and delegates filled the room today during our 12th General Assembly! The morning session included keynote speeches from European Commission officials Bernd Kuepker and Peter Czaga presenting on #REDIII and #FuelEU Maritime regulatory developments, as well as Timothy Deehan, PhD of Argus Media Consulting.

📊💻 A vital issue for our industry is finally being address through an official channel. The Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) has alerted it will investigate non-compliance with mass balance rules for biofuels, following “serious signals” of certified companies not following the rules. (the NEa newsletter can be found in the comments) ❗️Immediate action is needed to stop this mass balance anomaly that creates market distortion, lowering domestic #biodiesel prices and negatively affecting the EU’s efforts to decarbonize the #transportsector. 🔎 The system should leave no room for exploitation and ensure that the same rules apply to all participants. Any violation by market participants should be quickly detected, isolated, and addressed by relevant authorities.   As an association we are working tirelessly to achieve this for our members and the industry at large.

🚀🚀 EWABA will be present this week in Rimini, Italy at ECOMONDO - ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP 2024 to discuss our involvement in the LIFE Bio-Lubricant project. #biofuels #biolubricants Tommaso D'Angelo

Our Communications Director Leonidas Kanonis presented during the 2nd General Assembly meeting of the HORIZON project FUELPHORIA in #Zaragoza, Spain! 🏭 Four demonstrators in Spain, Belgium, and Greece will serve as the testing grounds for the value chains created during the project. Their objective would be solve the technical issues related to the conversion of #feedstock 🌿 into #renewablefuels and prepare their market entry by designing innovative business models.

🚀🚀 From London to Copenhagen... Our Government Affairs Director Dáša Mamrillová presenting at the Future of Biofuels conference on the future of heavy-duty transport and the role of internal combustion engines (#ICE). ⛽️♻️ It is crucial to include #CO2 neutral fuels in future legislation to ensure the most efficient #decarbonisation of #heavyduty transport. #biofuels #biodiesel #higherblends #efuels #RED #CO2standards #roadtransport Fortes Media Group

📢 An early revision of #CO2emission standards regulations should be driven by technology openness 📢 24 organisations released a joint statement urging legislators to rethink their approach that limits the contribution of certain technology solutions in the adopted #CO2 emission standards regulations. Technology openness serves for the benefit of industry, economy and climate ambition. All sustainable renewable fuels have a role to play in decarbonising transport! ♻️⛽️ 🔗 Read the full statement and learn more about why we need technology openness in CO2 regulations: https://t.ly/YmUTD Advanced Biofuels Coalition | AECC EU | Bioéthanol France | CECRA | CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers | European Biogas Association | EBB European Biodiesel Board | ECFD - European Confederation of Fuel Distributors |eFuel Alliance | ePURE: European renewable ethanol association | Eurogas | Fleet Cards Europe | #FinMobility | FuelsEurope | Gas Distributors for Sustainability (GD4S) | IRU | Liquid Gas Europe | Mittelstandsverband abfallbasierter Kraftstoffe e.V.

💂🏽🚩 The EWABA Secretariat team attended the #ArgusBiofuelsEurope conference in London last week, discussing about waste and advanced biodiesel and its existing and potential contribution to road and maritime decarbonisation. Much appreciation to our members BDI-BioEnergy International GmbH and Gelsenkraft GmbH for co-exhibiting with us at the EWABA Pavilion booth. 🙏 Also a big thanks to everyone that came by our booth to chat on the market, discuss opportunities for the coming year as well as a chance to join our association. We look forward to continuing our interesting discussions! Angel Alvarez Alberdi Dáša Mamrillová Leonidas Kanonis Argus Media #biofuels #biodiesel #roadtransport #maritime #EUpolicy
