[IMPACT Webinar]: Powering Europe's Future: Leading the Global Shift to Sustainable Fuels

Abstract:

Europe is at the forefront of the global energy transition, striving to become a powerhouse in sustainable fuel innovation. This webinar brings together policymakers, industry leaders, and transport pioneers to explore how the EU can lead the shift toward cleaner fuels. From regulatory frameworks to refinery conversions and the game-changing potential of SAF, SMF, and Biomethane, our expert speakers will shed light on the strategies driving Europe’s decarbonization efforts. This webinar is also part of the digital content for Sustainable Fuels Europe Summit2025, the premium global platform uniting the worldwide visionaries in Madrid, Spain, on June 17-18, 2025.

Key Takeaways:

1. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)-Essential to Decarbonizing Aviation

        Policy Landscape:

  • The EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation regulation mandates 2% SAF blending by 2025, scaling to 70% by 2050.

  • Prioritizes advanced biofuels as short-term solutions and e-fuels as long-term goal, excluding food-based feedstocks.

        Industry Response:

  • Neste is scaling to 3M tons by 2030, citing SAF as aviation’s most powerful decarbonization lever.

  • Boeing backs SAF as the only viable near- and mid-term solution for long- and medium-haul flights.

        Key Challenges:

  • High production costs, feedstock limits, and long-term contracting hesitancy.

  • Demand certainty through regulation is essential to unlock investments.

​

2. Sustainable Marine Fuels (SMF)-Driving Maritime Decarbonization Amid Technology Gaps

        Sector Needs:

  • With no commercially available zero-emission ship tech, the pathway to decarbonize maritime centers on clean fuels.

  • EU’s FuelEU Maritime sets GHG intensity reduction targets, plus a 2% subtarget for renewable fuels by 2034 if uptake is low.

        Fuel Flexibility:

  • Unlike aviation, shipping has a broader fuel basket: biofuels, e-methanol, ammonia, bio-LNG.

  • Focus is on lifecycle GHG reduction, not just SAF-type fuels.

        Industry Action:

  • Moeve sees marine fuels as part of its integrated renewable strategy, leveraging biomethane and hydrogen production.

  • Regulatory frameworks must ensure fair competition and demand consistency for investment in maritime fuel innovation.

  • The IMO has drafted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI to introduce a “net-zero framework” aiming to bring international shipping to net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the 2023 IMO GHG Reduction Strategy.

​

3. Biomethane-A Key Enabler for Clean Transport & Hydrogen

        Local & Scalable:

  • Biomethane, derived from agricultural and organic waste, is one of the few fully domestic, circular fuels.

  • Plays a dual role: as a direct fuel (e.g., for trucking, shipping) and feedstock for green hydrogen production.

        Industrial Commitment:

  • Moeve is investing in biomethane facilities tied to their new HVO plant in Spain, enabling multiple decarbonization routes.

  • Engie has made large progress and investment in Biomethane plant in scaling biomethane production

  • Spain identified as having high potential due to renewable resources, land availability, and agricultural waste streams.
