Achieving climate neutrality requires a holistic strategy that considers all energy needs. While electrification and other renewable technologies play essential roles, an exclusive focus on these solutions risks leaving significant gaps, particularly for the 20 million European households that rely on liquid fuels for heating. Many buildings, especially in rural and off-grid areas, are not suitable for electrification due to cost constraints or limited grid connections. Ensuring these communities are not left behind in transitioning to a greener future is crucial.

Eurofuel, the European Liquid Heating Fuels Association, in an open letter, urges Europe's leaders to recognise our sector as a critical and strategic part of the energy transition and to incorporate it into the Clean Industrial Deal.

Owners of oil heating systems are increasingly looking for environmentally friendly solutions, such as hybrid heating systems, and are also demanding greater political involvement.

For the fourth consecutive time, EWO's survey, conducted in September 2024, achieved an impressive participation rate, with 4,368 individuals taking part in the current oil heating survey.

Four associations active in the liquid heating fuels industry, namely ECFD (European Confederation of Fuel Distributors), Eurofuel (European Liquid Heating Fuels Association), FuelsEurope (European Fuels Manufactures Association) and UPEI (Europe's Independent Fuel Suppliers), publish a joint press release, urging policymakers to support renewable liquid fuels to meet the EU’s 2030, 2040, and 2050 climate targets.

With more than 20 million households in Europe relying on liquid fuels for heating, the associations forming the Joint Heating Commission,  emphasise that liquid fuels remain essential for rural, off-grid communities, providing an affordable, reliable energy source.
