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 & […]
In Belgium, global biofuels production emits 16% more CO2 than the fossil fuels it replaces, a new Cerulogy report on behalf of Transport & Environment shows. The same land could feed 1.3 billion people, while using just 3% of that land for solar panels would produce the same amount of energy. With demand set to […]
In Belgium, Transport and Environment (T&E) has issued a briefing into the growing concerns surrounding the use of Palm Oil Mill Effluents (POME) in EU biofuels, highlighting potential fraud and discrepancies in reported volumes amidst the shift towards waste-based alternatives. According to T&E, over the past decade, the EU’s biofuel policies, initially promoting palm oil-based […]
In Belgium, nearly a third of global shipping could run on biofuels in 2030, new Transport & Energy analysis shows, up from less than 1% today. Under the current draft of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) green fuels law, this could actually exacerbate climate change and put pressure on global food supplies. The study by […]
In Belgium, China, will soon run out of waste oil, as demand from Europe and the US outstrips supply, a new Transport & Environment (T&E) study shows. Stratas Advisors’ research, on behalf of T&E, looks at the collection capacity of the world’s leading UCO producers and finds that China already exports more than half its […]
In Belgium, Italian oil giant Eni is failing to deliver on its promise to produce thousands of tonnes of biofuel crops, a new investigation by Transport & Environment (T&E), in collaboration with The Continent, shows. The study raises questions over the credibility of the company’s plan – which is backed by Italian prime minister Giorgia […]
