17/06/2022 (Agence Europe) – A coalition of more than 40 organisations, including energy suppliers, shipping companies and NGOs, sent a letter to the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on Friday 17 June asking them to introduce a minimum quota of synthetic fuels (e-fuels) for maritime transport in the EU. In their opinion, the sector should have a binding target to reach a 6% share of synthetic fuel use by 2030, as part of the FuelEU Maritime initiative. “Sustainable hydrogen and e-fuels, particularly when produced from renewable sources, need to be incentivised by a dedicated sub-target and a multiplier that would drive up investments in these fuels”, said Daniel Fraile, Hydrogen Europe’s policy director, while being of the opinion that the current position of the EU Council and that of the Parliament’s rapporteur is insufficient in relation to the ambition of the REPowerEU plan.
