The article discusses the European Commission's Clean Industrial Deal (CID) and its implications for advancing renewable advanced fuels in the maritime and aviation sectors to combat greenhouse gas emissions. The CID aims to support second-generation biofuels and renewable hydrogen, crucial for long-term decarbonization, by providing funding and addressing market uncertainties. The EU Emissions Trading System and Innovation Fund will play key roles in de-risking investments and assisting early-stage projects. Additionally, proposed revisions in the Energy Taxation Directive could bridge cost gaps between sustainable aviation fuels and conventional jet fuels, potentially creating new revenue sources for renewable fuels. The CID also proposes expanding the Hydrogen Bank program and introducing a new Hydrogen Mechanism to de-risk investments in aviation and marine fuels, particularly for e-kerosene production. Furthermore, the CID's commitment to reducing permitting requirements for electricity and grid expansion aims to accelerate the development of domestic e-fuel production and fast charging infrastructure, impacting e-fuel costs. The article emphasizes the importance of supporting advanced fuel pathways to reach final investment decisions and start production in line with global decarbonization goals. The upcoming Sustainable Transport Investment Plan will further outline measures to support renewable and low-carbon fuels, with insights from the International Council on Clean Transportation informing the process.
