The contribution of eFuels to
European energy supply

Providing Europeans with secure, sustainable, competitively produced and affordable energy is a mayor challenge 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 climate neutrality 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 European regulations, which are currently being discussed and decided in Brussels as part of the Green Deal.
