Liquid Gas Europe

#RuralCommunities are more than homes. They are farms, food producers, workshops, family businesses and local services that keep communities alive. Around 700,000 businesses in #RuralEurope already rely on liquid gas for heat and energy. For many, dependable supply is essential to production, jobs and continuity. This is especially true where electricity grids are limited or absent, and electrification may not be the most practical or cost-effective solution. #RenewableLiquidGases offer a credible, scalable and ready-to-use pathway to lower lifecycle emissions through established systems, helping businesses #decarbonise while protecting the #competitiveness and reliability they depend on. Europe’s climate ambition must reach every corner of the Union, and work for the businesses that make rural communities thrive. #EnergyEverywhere

As colder days and longer nights return, keeping a home warm becomes a simple priority. For many #RuralHouseholds, especially in older homes built for a different time, heat can escape quickly, and every energy decision carries a real cost. These homes need solutions that work with their reality. #RenewableLiquidGases can provide reliable, high-temperature warmth through existing heating systems, helping suitable households reduce lifecycle emissions without disruptive structural changes. A practical energy future must keep every home warm, affordable and included. #EnergyEverywhere #RuralCommunities

Every day, millions of people take the road. Parents drive their kids to school, a taxi driver navigates busy city streets, and a small business owner makes deliveries to keep their community moving. Different stories, different roads, different realities. Across the EU, mobility looks different to everyone. What works in a city may not work in a rural area. What works for a family may not work for a small business. Yet we are all moving towards the same goal: a CO2-neutral future. The challenge is ensuring that transition works for everyone, no matter where they live, what they do, and how far they travel. That's why the EU needs practical and inclusive solutions available today. #Autogas and #RenewableLiquidGases such as #bioLPG help bridge the gap between today’s mobility needs and infrastructure and tomorrow’s climate ambitions, reducing emissions while building on what Europe already has in place. The road to CO2-neutral mobility will not be one-size-fits-all. Different roads. Shared destination. #AutogasDay #EnergyEverywhere

Over 8,5 million cars already run on #Autogas across the EU, supported by more than 29,000 refuelling stations. This is infrastructure people use every day: on the school run, between client visits, during deliveries and on the journey home. It is a European mobility network with real reach, real users, and decades of expertise behind it. As #RenewableLiquidGas supply grows, this existing ecosystem can help reduce lifecycle emissions from cars already on the road through certified renewable fuels, without leaving drivers or infrastructure behind. #AutogasDay #EnergyEverywhere

Waste doesn't have to be the end of the story. It can be the start of a reliable energy source. #bioLPG and renewable DME can be produced from renewable feedstocks such as waste and residues, turning otherwise overlooked resources into #CircularEnergy for homes, farms, and businesses. For off-grid and #RuralCommunities, #RenewableLiquidGases provide an effective way to lower overall emissions while supporting daily life: keeping homes warm, farms productive, and local businesses thriving. #EnergyEverywhere

Europe’s #decarbonisation challenge does not stop at the front door. From farms and food processing to mobility and manufacturing, many households and businesses depend on #ReliableEnergy in places where grid capacity, investment cycles and operational needs can be demanding. A new @Euractiv article looks at how #RenewableLiquidGases can support practical decarbonisation across these applications. They can build on established infrastructure, reduce lifecycle emissions in suitable uses, and support competitiveness, resilience, and real-world energy. #EnergyEverywhere #EnergyResilience #EuropeanIndustry euractiv.com/news/liquid-gas…

#Decarbonisation needs solutions that work in the real world: in #RuralCommunities, off-grid homes, on farms and in small businesses. #RenewableLiquidGases, including #bioLPG and renewable DME, can reduce lifecycle emissions in suitable existing liquid gas applications while maintaining reliable energy for #heating, #cooking and business operations. Their value lies in practical compatibility. Existing storage, appliances and delivery systems can continue to serve users, helping make lower-emission energy more accessible, affordable and inclusive, particularly where alternatives may be difficult or costly to deploy. Renewable liquid gases are one part of a #TechnologyNeutral approach to meeting everyday energy needs while reducing emissions. #EnergyEverywhere Read the article: liquidgaseurope.eu/news/rene…

Across #RuralEurope, the #EnergyTransition is lived every day: in homes that need reliable heating, on farms that must keep operating, and in local businesses that keep communities working. Rural households, farmers and local business owners want to help meet Europe’s climate targets, but solutions must fit their buildings, infrastructure and budgets. Effective policy begins with a clear understanding of rural realities. Read more: liquidgaseurope.eu/news/rura… #EnergyEverywhere

#ClimateNeutrality will not be delivered only in city centres. It will be delivered in #RuralHomes that need heating through winter, on farms that keep producing, and in the family businesses that keep communities alive. More than 137 million people live in predominantly #RuralAreas across the #EU. Their everyday reality must shape Europe’s #EnergyFuture - through solutions that are practical, reliable and affordable, wherever people live. #EnergyEverywhere liquidgaseurope.eu/news/rura…

The #EnergyTransition will be delivered differently across Europe. In #RuralCommunities and off-grid areas, local infrastructure, building stock, and household budgets shape what is practical and affordable. First published in May, this Euractiv article explores those realities and the role #RenewableLiquidGases can play in supporting progress. #EnergyEverywhere euractiv.com/news/liquid-gas…

Europe’s #EnergyTransition must work everywhere. In rural and off-grid communities, people heat older homes, run farms and keep local businesses moving. Often beyond the reach of dense energy networks. #RenewableLiquidGases offer a reliable and feasible pathway to lower lifecycle emissions, using established infrastructure to deliver the energy communities need, where they need it. #RuralEurope is not behind. It operates differently, and Europe’s #ClimatePolicy must work for that reality.

7 million households. 700,000 businesses. Electrification alone cannot reach them all. Together with 9 partner organisations, we are calling on the #EU to fully recognise #RenewableFuels in the Heating & Cooling Strategy and #REDIV. #RenewableLiquidGases. Existing infrastructure. No costly renovations. Long-term decarbonisation — not a workaround. Five asks to policymakers 👇 liquidgaseurope.eu/news/rene… #EnergyTransition #TechnologyNeutral

Yesterday at the European Parliament, Liquid Gas Europe participated in a key debate on road transport and the future of the #automotive sector. Ewa Abramiuk-Lete made the case for #RenewableLiquidGases as a practical, immediate pathway to lower emissions while building on existing vehicles, infrastructure, and industrial capacity. As the CO₂ Standards Regulation revision progresses, a #TechnologyNeutral framework that recognises all viable #decarbonisation routes is not optional. It is essential. Thank you to Confindustria, ANFIA, Confindustria Energia, and MEP Letizia Moratti for a timely and important discussion.

Yesterday in Antwerp, President Emmanuel Macron delivered a message that goes to the heart of Europe’s current crossroads: “𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘸-𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺.” 1️⃣ 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 — 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰. Europe’s decarbonisation pathway must remain open to all effective low-carbon solutions. Innovation does not happen in silos, and narrowing our options risks slowing progress at a time when speed matters most. 2️⃣ 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. Clean energy policy is no longer just environmental policy — it is industrial, economic, and geopolitical policy. Secure, affordable, low-carbon energy will define Europe’s resilience and strategic autonomy. 3️⃣ 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. Investors and innovators need clarity. Long-term, coherent frameworks are what unlock capital, scale technologies, and create jobs across Europe’s value chains. 4️⃣ 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Global competitors are investing at an unprecedented scale. Europe must respond with ambition and confidence. The takeaway from Antwerp is clear: competitiveness and climate leadership go hand in hand. With technology neutrality, regulatory certainty, and scaled-up investment, Europe can ensure it leads this transformation — rather than follows it. #AntwerpDeclaration #SaveOurIndustry

At Liquid Gas Europe, we fully support the objective of strengthening Europe’s industrial competitiveness while delivering climate neutrality. Bringing energy and carbon costs under control must go hand in hand with maintaining climate ambition — through predictable, technology-neutral and cost-effective policy design that preserves investment certainty and avoids disproportionate burdens on industry and consumers. Read the Antwerp Call to Action: antwerp-declaration.eu/the-a… #AntwerpDeclaration #SaveOurIndustry

Across sectors, industry leaders highlighted a shared challenge: Europe’s cumulative energy and carbon costs — driven by commodity prices and regulatory design — risk undermining competitiveness. Delivering climate neutrality must go hand in hand with maintaining industrial strength. This requires pragmatic, technology-neutral solutions that minimise system costs, recognise existing infrastructure, and ensure a socially balanced transition. Europe must act — with coherence, predictability, and competitiveness at the core. #AntwerpDeclaration

As the EU shapes its new #HeatingAndCooling Strategy, ENZA calls for a pragmatic, multi-energy approach — and Liquid Gas Europe fully supports it. Europe’s regions have very different realities, especially the 49M households off the gas grid. Recognising this diversity is key to a fair #EnergyTransition. ENZA calls for: • empowering local choices #LocalFlexibility • supporting all clean solutions #TechnologyNeutrality • clearer, predictable rollout frameworks #CleanEnergyDeployment Renewable liquid gases like bioLPG and rDME offer up to 80–90% GHG cuts using existing systems — a practical pathway for rural and off-grid communities #RenewableMolecules. A fair Strategy embraces Europe’s diversity and gives every community a realistic route to decarbonise. liquidgaseurope.eu/news/enza…
