The European Commission is devising a methodology to assess which renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) deliver substantial carbon reductions. Here's T&E's views on the methodology.
RFNBOs are fuels made from renewable sources other than biomass. These renewable sources refer mostly to renewable electricity produced with wind and solar power. Electrofuels such as hydrogen, ammonia and synthetic hydrocarbons like e-kerosene are examples of such RFNBOs.
T&E’s key positions are the following:
Fossil fuel companies made €180bn in taxable profits in the EU in the two years following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Huge biofuels expansion without safeguards would drive deforestation
