In Belgium, the European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €200 million German scheme to support the production in Canada of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives, known as renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). These RFNBOs will be imported to Germany and sold in the EU, contributing to the objectives of the […]
In Belgium, TripleW has partnered with Finnish Sulapac has on a closed-loop pilot demonstrating that reusable cups made from Sulapac Solid – a 100% bio-based and biodegradable material – can be chemically recycled commercially. The innovative upcycling system eliminates the need for fossil-based materials, delivers long-term cost savings and perfectly aligns with the European Union’s […]
In Belgium, Ship & Bunker reports that as of Jan. 1, EU Emissions Trading System compliance costs jumped by 45% to $319 per metric ton of marine fuel burned, up from about $220/mt on Dec. 31. When the EU-ETS came into effect in 2024, ship owners only had to pay about 40% of compliance costs, […]

Even after all this time and effort to drag it across the finishing line, the EU-Mercosur agreement remains a bad deal for the EU renewable ethanol sector, for European […]
In Belgium, European Biogas Association (EBA) unveils the 15th edition of its Statistical Report, the landmark annual publication offering the most comprehensive assessment of biogas and biomethane markets in Europe. The 2024–2025 dataset underscores the strategic importance of biogases for Europe’s energy independence and defossilisation pathway, while warning that persistent regulatory uncertainty is slowing the […]
In Belgium, inserting a biofuels loophole in the EU 2035 cars law could see a huge spike in demand for biofuels from waste feedstocks like animal fats, used cooking oil and palm oil by-products, new Transport and Environment analysis finds. A car running on animal fats, for example, would require the equivalent of 120 pigs […]
In Belgium, Transport & Environment commissioned the consultancy ERM to look at the critical role of CO2 sourcing and transport infrastructure for e-fuels production in Europe. They undertook a comprehensive analysis of CO2 sourcing for e-fuels in Europe. The study outlines different sourcing strategies, opportunities to unlock more suitable CO2, and the potential role of policy. The analysis shows that Pulp & […]
