WGMM Report Shows That There Could Be Enough Feedstock for All Transport Modes

Brussels, 13 January – A new report of the WGMM has shown that Europe’s sustainable feedstock base is sufficient to supply CO₂‑neutral fuels for all transport modes. This summary report outlines key findings on feedstock types, potential supply up to 2050, and the synergies between road, aviation, and maritime fuel decarbonisation.

WGMM’s Reaction to the Automotive Package

Brussels, 22 December – The Working Group on Monitoring Methodologies for CO₂ neutral fuels (WGMM) takes note of the European Commission’s new proposal within the Automotive Package to revise the CO₂ emission standards for light duty vehicles. The Commission’s new proposal is an important recognition of the importance of renewable fuels, specifically e-Fuels and biofuels, as contributors to road transport decarbonisation. Regrettably, the proposal does not go far enough in unleashing the potential of those fuels to help deliver on EU goals for reducing emissions.

Commission Yet to Deliver on CO₂-Neutral Truck Commitments – Industry Stands Ready

Brussels, 9 July – More than one year after entry into force of the CO₂ emission standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (Regulation (EU) 2024/1610), in force since 26 June, with legal effect from 1 July 2024 pursuant to Article 5, the European Commission has yet to follow up on the commitment outlined in Recital 17 to assess the role of a methodology for registering heavy-duty vehicles running exclusively on CO₂ neutral fuels. The regulation clearly stated that this assessment should take place within a year of its entry into force, a deadline that has now passed.
