Current POME-based biofuels in EU fall within current production potential 

According to studio Gear Up’s numerical analysis, the current volume of POME-biofuels deployed in the EU are in the range of current production volumes of POME residues. We advise to keep a close look on the future volumes of POME-based biofuels, given the upper limits of production. Strengthening the information position of renewable fuels supply chains with more frequent auditing and historical data of POME-oil production are needed.

SAF allowances may not be the best instrument to ramp up SAF production

European Commission introduced new support mechanism for the ramping up of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) deployment Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are renewable fuels that replace fossil based kerosine in aircrafts and are seen as an important option to mitigate climate emissions in the aviation sector. Generally, these alternative fuels are

Clean Fuel Contracts: Guidance to provide information about renewable fuels for end-users

There is the need for transparent information flows on the attributes of renewable fuels used in transport markets. Transport and logistics activities represent a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions related the products that consumers buy. Renewable fuels play a fundamental role in reducing these emissions. The Clean Fuel Contract

Challenges and risks of low ILUC-risk certification for the biofuel sector

With Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/807 the European Commission defined several options to certify low ILUC-risk feedstock for EU biofuels. Now that the criteria have been worked out and tested, it becomes clear that the approaches are highly complex, while the additional yields will likely be small. If low ILUC-risk certification
