Beyond the ICE ban: a comprehensive approach to decarbonize the road transport

Following the opposition of seven countries, the European debate over the internal combustion engines (ICE) ban in road transport has flared up again.

Patrik Klintbom, Chair of ETIP Bioenergy, commented on these facts from his LinkedIn profile claiming for a comprehensive approach for decarbonizing the car sector:

"Until all cars are electric there is need of huge volumes of liquid fuelsIn my view biofuels and later electrofuels have a key role here and the alternative is to continue to use fossil based energy carriers not electrification. So banning the combustion engine does not make sense to me and it would be much better to ban the problem which is the fossil derived fuels."

ETIP Bioenergy is updating its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda to outline a systemic approach on biofuels and electrofuels with integration of hydrogen.

Joint position paper on Renewable Hydrogen by ETIP RHC and ETIP Bioenergy


No alt text provided for this image

The production and use of renewable hydrogen can be an important building block for the energy transition, but certainly not the only or even the most important solution.

This position paper is the result of collaborative work between RHC-ETIP and ETIP Bioenergy. The objective of this document is to discuss and to take position on the role of hydrogen for a climate-neutral Europe from the perspective of both ETIPs.
