Stakeholder Plenary Meeting

2016 is an important year for the implementation of the Energy Union objectives, the 2030 Climate and Energy package as well as to achieve COP 21 ambitions.

A series of initiatives are relevant for the future of the biofuel sector:

  • The post-2020 effort-sharing decision (how to address non-ETS emissions such as transport) following a Communication on the decarbonisation of transport, accompanied by an Action Plan on second and third generation biofuels (mid 2016)
  • Developing a new Renewable Energy Directive post 2020 and a sustainability framework for biomass used for energy

The focus of this event was on the role of biofuels towards 2030 as an essential decarbonisation option.

The aim was to discuss with participants the decarbonizing alternatives for the transport sector as well as latest developments in the biofuel research and technology sector.

Established in 2006, the EBTP brings together the knowledge and expertise of stakeholders from industry, biomass production, research & technology development, engine and vehicle manufacture, fuel distribution, government and NGOs in a public private partnership.

Over the last few years, the European Biofuels Technology Platform has engaged with interested actors and stakeholders in order to find appropriate ways to kick-start the commercial deployment of advanced biofuels. This website http://etipbioenergy.eu/ provides an overview of the main activities of the platform.

The Programme was organised into 4 sections:

  • Introduction to the EBTP (Tomas Kåberger, Chair of the EBTP Steering Committee)
  • Session 1 Decarbonising transport
  • Session 2 Biofuels and the latest research developments
  • Session 3 Biofuels technology - The road so far - lessons learnt from different biofuel plants
  • Closing address
