An independent study for T&E assesses the near-term cost of e-petrol production for cars. E-fuels have entered the political debate on car CO₂ standards as a decarbonisation alternative to electric vehicles. To establish an up-to-date evidence base that can better inform ongoing policy discussions, T&E commissioned consultancy Ionect to assess the … [continued]
Electrification, Energy Security and the Path to Europe’s 2040 Climate Target. The adoption of the EU’s 2040 climate target marks a turning point in European climate and energy policy. With the headline objective agreed, the central challenge shifts from setting ambition to delivering it — in a political and geopolitical … [continued]
Green measures would reduce the shipping industry’s exposure to fuel price shocks in future, says T&E. €4.6 billion in additional fuel costs since the start of the conflict The cost gap between fossil fuels and e-fuels has narrowed. Efficiency measures, like wind propulsion, slow steaming or electrification, will further protect … [continued]
The EU’s early industrial advantage could disappear while international markets mature, warn European cleantech producers. According to the recently published Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP), decarbonising the shipping industry is estimated to require between €35 and €47 billion in annual investments by 2035. While the majority will come from the … [continued]
A lack of regulatory certainty is preventing most projects from moving beyond just the planning stage. Spain, Denmark, Norway and France are leading when it comes to producing green e-fuels that can be used for shipping, a new T&E analysis shows. But a lack of regulatory certainty is preventing most projects … [continued]
Europe’s e-fuels development for shipping remains in a fragile state of development. The 2025 update of T&E’s shipping e-fuels observatory looked at 80 green hydrogen and e-fuels projects representing a total of up to 3.06 million tonnes of oil equivalent by 2032. But of the projects that have been earmarked for shipping, just … [continued]
Why we still need carbon, how much is sustainable, and how should we move it around? Why do we still need to capture carbon for the future green transport system? To achieve its net-zero target by 2050, Europe must decarbonise all of its transport sector. While direct electrification is rapidly … [continued]
‘STIP’ diagnoses the problems for decarbonising planes and ships, but there is an urgency to act now, says T&E. The Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) published today contains promising steps to boost e-fuels production, T&E has said. But the EU needs to follow through rapidly if it is to retain its industrial … [continued]
27 leading green fuel producers call for leaders to adopt the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Net Zero Framework and to provide specific incentives for green e-fuels. 27 leading green fuel producers are calling on IMO delegates to seize a ‘once-in-a-generation’ opportunity to set shipping on a sustainable pathway. At this … [continued]
