In Belgium, hydrogen is no longer a future bet – it is being built now. According to the Hydrogen Council’s Global Hydrogen Compass 2026 committed investment has surpassed $130 billion, corresponding to 6.9 Mtpa of committed capacity across more than 570 projects worldwide, 90% of which are under construction or already operational. The new report, […]
In Belgium, Ship and Bunker reports Sunoil Biodiesel has received approval to supply sustainable biofuels in Belgium, expanding the European markets where the Netherlands-based producer can operate. The company produces biofuels from waste-based feedstocks such as used cooking oil at its Emmen facility and is already active in the ARA marine-fuel market. Sunoil recently partnered […]
In Belgium, Europeans want more renewable energy but are concerned about how much it will cost. Fortunately, the EU has a homegrown solution: renewable ethanol. A new EuroPulse survey of 26,000 people across 24 EU Member States and the UK finds that Europeans favor an energy transition away from imported fossil oil and toward locally […]
In Belgium, the European Commission has approved a €103 million State aid scheme by the Netherlands to accelerate the greening of the Dutch maritime fleet. The scheme will support the purchase of new clean and zero-emission vessels powered by renewable methanol or renewable hydrogen and the retrofitting of existing vessels to enable them use renewable […]
In Belgium, a new study provides an evidence base on Europe’s bio-based products lead markets, showing that there is no shortage of technology or ambition but the absence of a regulatory framework which would stimulate demand. The study, produced by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), is in two parts: the first maps the lead markets […]
In Belgium, European Biodiesel Board (EBB) welcomed the European Commission’s publication of the “Action Plan for Resilience, Strategic Autonomy, and Sustainability of the EU Protein System” (the Protein Action Plan).

In Belgium, members of the European Parliament have voted to reject an EU regulation that would have seen soy biofuels no longer count as a renewable fuel by 2030. Soy bean cultivation is one of the world’s leading causes of deforestation and land clearance, says T&E. The decision to reverse the regulation could now see […]
In Belgium, Eurogas and 44 co-signatories are warning that proposed changes to EU sustainability certification rules could undermine liquefaction by equivalence, a key pathway used to supply bioLNG and eLNG to ships via existing LNG infrastructure. BioLNG and eLNG are among the few renewable fuels already compatible with current LNG-fuelled vessels and infrastructure, with demand […]
In Belgium, adopted by the European Commission in April 2026, the revision of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/807 now classifies soybean oil as a high indirect land use change (ILUC)-risk biofuel feedstock, making it ineligible to count toward renewable energy targets by 2030. This proposal mirrors several existing national-level policies, with Member States such as France, […]
In Belgium, the European Biogas Association (EBA) unveiled two major publications: the European Biomethane Map, developed in cooperation with Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), and the Biomethane Investment Outlook. Together, they show a sector that continues to grow rapidly and attract investment, while also highlighting the significant untapped potential for further acceleration across Europe. Europe’s biomethane […]
