ePURE - European renewable ethanol

ePURE the European Renewable Ethanol Association represents bioethanol producers from crops, wastes and residues committed to sustainable bio-based solutions. Our members operate 21 state-of-the-art biorefineries across the EU, transforming primary agricultural biomass into renewable ethanol, high-protein animal feed, food, and other valuable co-products.

The Fit for 55 package sets important new goals for emissions reduction in transport. Giving a prominent role to renewable liquid fuels would create a solid foundation for reaching them. The EU should fully maximise the tools it has on hand for decarbonisation and de-fossilisation, starting with the RED.

In response to the RED II revision roadmap, ePURE would like provide recommendations to make the most out of this upcoming revision of the main policy instrument fostering the uptake of renewable energy. This in order to significantly increase renewable energy quantity in Europe, reduce reliance on fossil energy and support the European Green Deal ambitions.

ePURE supports the objective of the EU Taxonomy Regulation to guide financial flows towards sustainable growth and accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral economy. However, in the context of the current review of the EU taxonomy climate delegated act, we wish to highlight persistent inconsistencies with sectoral legislation as well as concerns regarding the process and methodology used to define…

ePURE, the association representing the European producers of renewable ethanol from sustainably grown crops, waste, and residues, appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the adoption of the proposal for a revised Energy Taxation Directive.

ePURE, representing the European producers of renewable ethanol, welcomes the publication of the Inception Impact Assessment ahead of the revision of the Energy Taxation Directive (ETD). This follows a public consultation in Spring 2018, a Roadmap in Jan. 2019, and the Evaluation in Sept. 2019 where the European Commission found the ETD unfit for purpose.

ePURE - the European Renewable Ethanol Association- represents bioethanol producers from crops, wastes and residues all committed to sustainable transition towards zero-emission mobility and sustainable bio-based solutions. Renewable ethanol is a certified, sustainable fuel that currently deliver on average 79% GHG savings compared to fossil fuels.

Giving a prominent role to renewable liquid fuels would create a solid foundation for reaching them. To that end, the EU should fully maximise the tools it has on hand for decarbonisation and de-fossilisation.

ePURE would like provide recommendations to make the most out of this upcoming revision. As the process of revising climate and energies policies in line with the increased ambitions set in the Green Deal unfolds, these recommendations aim at incentivising low carbon technologies and reducing reliance on fossil energy in order to swiftly decarbonise new and existing light duty vehicles.

Feedback on the Commission’s roadmap ‘on stepping up EU Action against Deforestation and Forest Degradation’ ePURE, the association representing European producers of renewable ethanol from conventional and advanced feedstock, welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to step up EU Action against Deforestation and Forest Degradation.

The AFID was meant to foster the deployment of alternative fuels and reduce the European fossil fuels dependency. Unfortunately, the role of biofuels is overlooked in the Directive, although they represent the vast majority of the renewable and alternative fuels in the European transport. In 2014, at the time of the AFID adoption, biofuels represented 89% of the renewables in the European transport energy mix.
