WIP contributed to a new briefing for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) of the European Parliament exploring how biomethane and bioethanol can reinforce Europe’s energy security and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. 

The study maps where these fuels are produced, how they are used, and which policy frameworks best support their uptake. By comparing established and emerging production pathways, it highlights opportunities to scale up sustainable, domestically sourced renewable gases and liquid biofuels.

The publication identifies conditions needed for stable, long-term deployment across the EU, its Member States and the UK.
