ROLE OF POLICY

Diversification of energy supply and further emission reductions with synthetic fuels can best be achieved through the coordinated efforts of fuel suppliers and automotive manufacturers working together with policy makers.

ASFE’s calls on policy-makers

 

ASFE seeks EU and national policy support for the introduction and increased penetration of all synthetic fuels. More specifically, ASFE calls for:

• The recognition of synthetic fuels in contributing to meeting the EU’s sustainable transport and energy security objectives
• An equal treatment of synthetic fuels with other alternative fuels,(e.g. fiscal incentives).
• An acknowledgement that GTL and HVO paves the way for BTL commercialization
• An increase in R&D support for BTL production pathways
• An increase in R&D support for advanced engines optimised for synthetic fuels

Synthetic fuels represent a critical step on the path to a European future of sustainable mobility.

Through ASFE, the companies with the greatest experience and expertise in maximising potential of synthetic fuels have united to take that step together.
