LSB - the advanced biofuels coalition has welcomed the Communication on the EU Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy published by the European Commission. Advanced biofuels are an important solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport, the coalition highlights.
LSB, a coalition of leading advanced biofuels producers and technology providers committed to making a strong contribution to meet the EU ambitions of reducing transport emissions, supports the goal of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport and to make all transport modes sustainable.
The Strategy presented by the European Commission on December 9, 2020, “rightly recognizes” that the success of the European Green Deal depends on the transport sector to contribute its fair share.
In order for the EU to become climate-neutral by 2050, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport need to decrease by 90 percent. Advanced biofuels contribute to a climate-neutral Europe based on sustainability and circularity.
LSB supports the EU’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 and an increased level of ambition for 2030 targets. At the same time, LSB requests policy continuity and long-term visibility for investors.
In this respect, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) must continue to set ambitious binding targets for advanced biofuels and the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions standards for vehicles must include the renewable fuel dimension.
