Europe has enough agricultural waste and wood scraps to completely replace fossil fuels in road transport, a new study finds. Despite the push for EVs, researchers argue that "reFuels" made from residues—not just cooking oil—could decarbonize the millions…
✅ The EU has sufficient advanced raw materials to produce "Carbon Neutral Fuels" (CNF) for relevant quantities, even without imports, considering requirements from industry, aviation, and shipping.
✅ By 2030, renewable alternatives could meet 38-55% of EU road transport fuel demand, increasing to 44-67% by 2035. This potential rises to 107% by 2040 using only EU-based raw materials.
✅ Renewable fuels (CNF) are a viable and scalable option for petroleum-free road transport in the EU, aiming for 100% substitution of fossil fuels. While initial imports may be needed, EU-based raw materials can meet full demand by 2040.
