The contribution of eFuels to
European energy supply

Providing countries with secure, sustainable, competitively produced and affordable energy is a mayor challenge especially for the European Union. On the one hand, a secure supply with minimal external vulnerabilities must be ensured, and on the other hand, the energy sector must become environmentally friendly in order to achieve net zero emissions of the economy by 2050.

Fossil fuel reserves are largely concentrated in a few regions of the world, which increases dependence on individual countries. The potential of renewable energies, on the other hand, is much more diversely distributed. However, renewable electricity is difficult to store and transport over long distances. Therefore, conversion into chemical energy carriers such as eFuels is necessary to make the global potential usable. To this end, plannable, long-term demand must be stimulated as quickly as possible through regulations. In addition, the production of climate-friendly fuels should be incentivised by tax reduction and funding schemes.
