🗣 For the third year, Pau, Capitale Humaine is organising a European Low-carbon Mobility political forum today and tomorrow. 🇪🇺 Ahead of the #EuropeanElections2024, this political Forum aims to provide a clear overview of what has been voted at EU-level in the field of #mobility; to present different scenarios for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050; and for public and private stakeholders to discuss how to accelerate this process. #FuelsEurope’s Communication Director Alain Mathuren will participate in a panel reviewing the European legislation voted in the context of the #EUGreenDeal between 2019 and 2024, in particular the CO2 emission standards in cars 🚘 and trucks 🚛, RefuelEU Aviation ✈, FuelEU Maritime 🛳 and the Renewable Energy Directive #RED, together with Herald Ruijters, Director at the European Commission, David Carpintero, Managing Director at ePURE: European renewable ethanol association, and Rafik A., Director of Government and Public Affairs, Europe/IMO, at the Methanol Institute. Alain Mathuren will also moderate a session dedicated to the Working Group on Monitoring Methodologies for CO2-neutral fuels, which aims to assess potential mechanical and digital solutions for monitoring the use of #RenewableFuels in new vehicles. Marc de Jong, Head of business Development at WRC Promoter GmbH, Cédric Goubet, CEO of Safran Helicopter Engines and Björn Noack, Product Management Market Segment PC at Bosch, will also take part in the discussion to provide insights on forward-looking decarbonisation strategies.

EU’s view on decarbonizing maritime and inland waterways transport According to the European Union Research and innovation for climate neutrality by 2050 report, decarbonizing maritime and inland waterways transport is another significant challenge as the shipping industry currently relies almost exclusively on fossil fuels. The main challenge here is associated with cost and the high energy density required to cover long maritime distances. Alternative fuels  Alternative fuels, such as biofuels, synfuels, ammonia or hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies at motor engine point sources appear to be the most promising avenues for decarbonizing long distance maritime transport, while electric ferries and fuel cells could be the solution for short distance shipping. Collaboration between value chains  However, to decarbonise the shipping sector, a system-wide thinking is required and the three value chains that are central to steering the sector’s decarbonization must be involved. These include: the fuel chain; the shipbuilding chain; and the operations chain. Alternative energy and propulsion According to the EU, key Research & Innovation (R&I) interventions across these value chains should be considered together. R&I efforts linked to sail propulsion technologies (e.g. use of sails, rotors and kites as an auxiliary propulsion source) should also be investigated, especially as performance gains could be important but are still uncertain and these solution require a rethink of the mode of navigation (e.g. modification of sear routes, reduction of speed, etc.). Ocean-based carbon removal  As EU notes, R&D funding for ocean-based carbon removals ought to further develop, assess potentials and risks of currently immature methods (artificial up-/down welling, ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), and micro-nutrient fertilisation). R&D is also needed to ensure the feasibility of more mature approaches (mangroves, seagrass and kelp farming) through appropriate implementation and monitoring technologies and practices that track both the carbon flows and ecosystem effects under realistic application scenarios – including remote sensing. Transdisciplinary R&D can also enable resolving regulatory and public acceptance barriers including governance problems of the high seas and domestic law. https://lnkd.in/eAkfcR93 #maritime #fuels #propulsion #smes #maritimeconnection #inlandwaterways #netzero #decarbonisation
