The Commission adopted its 2018 Fuel Quality Report based on the data submitted by EU countries.
Achieving the 2020 target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport fuels remains problematic for most European Union Member States according to the latest reported data up to 2018 released by the European Environment Agency (EEA) today.
A team of experts has assessed the transport sector and its projected development up to 2030 and 2050 for a number of countries. The objective of the assessment was to quantify the role that renewable transport fuels play in decarbonising the road transport sector, and to provide insights to policy makers on how individual countries differ from one another, which options for decarbonisation they have, and best practice examples for successful policies. This webinar will present the main conclusions and recommendations of this work.
Key data from two new reports on sustainable bioeconomy and smart specialization value chain mapping in the Baltic Sea Region.
The objective of the workshop was to examine, synthesize and disseminate information from recent studies that investigate how bioenergy and associated technologies may contribute to achieving the reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are needed to meet the WB2 target and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
In an EU-funded research project, an international consortium aims to develop new production methods for sustainable marine fuels to replace heavy fuel oils in shipping.
The EU strategies for energy system integration and hydrogen will pave the way towards a more efficient and interconnected energy sector, driven by the twin goals of a cleaner planet and a stronger economy.
The ‘European Biomethane Map 2020’ shows a 51% increase of biomethane plants in Europe in two years.
The transport sector is the only major sector in the EU where greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are continuously increasing. As such, there is an urgent need to speed up Europe's decarbonisation efforts, in order to combat climate change and comply with emission reduction targets.
These 5 new and updated factsheets provide an overview of bioenergy in Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Germany.
The world’s biogas and biomethane resources could cover 20% of global gas demand while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to new IEA report.
Six new factsheets focused on Torrefied Pellets, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil –HVO, Pyrolysis Oil, Bioenergy in Europe, Bioenergy in Slovenia and Biofuels in Bulgaria have recently been published.
A novel technology has been developed for hydrogen production from the process, which involves electron that is produced during the decomposition of biomass such as waste wood. The result produced after biomass decomposition is a high value-added compound, and it is a two-stone technology that improves the efficiency of hydrogen production.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2020 projects that U.S. biofuel production will slowly grow through 2050, primarily driven by economic and policy factors. In the Reference case, which reflects current laws and regulations, biofuels production in 2050 is 18% higher than 2019 levels.
What if we used the sea to diversify the stock of available biofuels? Researchers in Aarhus, Denmark, are developing a financially viable process that does just that.
Researchers have developed a new process that could make it much cheaper to produce biofuels such as ethanol from plant waste and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Today, various processes are used to convert organic waste into biogas. By combining two different processes, it is possible to obtain even more of valuable substances such as hydrogen and methane. The key is to make the most of the microorganisms that do the work.
Millions of kroner is being invested in the large Biokraft biofuel plant near the town of Skogn in Central Norway to produce ‘green’ gasoline for planes.
Household waste, unused straw from farmland and old wood will be amongst the unusual components used by 4 world-leading UK-based plants to produce green fuels with support from government funding.
