Europe has a homegrown solution for building resilience, ensuring energy security and fighting climate change
ePURE was pleased to join the EU Biofuels Chain in meeting with Commissioner Hansen to explore ways Europe can unleash the potential of sustainable crop-based biofuels
The fields that feed Europe can also help strengthen its energy security.
I met with the EU Biofuels chain to discuss how sustainable crop-based biofuels can:
👉help decarbonise our energy supply
👉create income opportunities for farmers
👉boost EU protein autonomy & resilience

🌱The EU's post-2030 framework for renewable energy should build on what's proven successful and set a meaningful target for renewable energy in transport
✒️ That's why ePURE is among the signatories of a joint letter that a renewable fuels coalition sent to Commissioners today

🥊 It's yet another gut-punch to Europe’s strategically important renewable ethanol industry
The newly announced trade agreement between the EU and Australia is the latest blow to Europe’s renewable ethanol industry, already reeling from the EU-Mercosur deal
Which EU Commissioner just said the “tank vs plate dilemma belongs to the past” and that biorefineries are an important solution for EU energy security?
Read our press release on why renewable ethanol is essential to EU energy security, and ‘there is a huge potential to do more’

As war in the Middle East makes fossil fuel dependence even more unsustainable, it’s clear that Europe needs to boost its domestic biofuel production

🇪🇺 A European Declaration of Independence
ePURE's David Carpintero @DCLASN writes in @EthanolMagazine: "There has never been a more important time for the EU to adopt policies that make the best use of strategic domestic assets"
Dramatic geopolitical repositioning requires Europe to think more about its resilience, competitiveness and independence, and making the best use of domestic assets such as renewable ethanol biorefineries
