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.

After years of discussion, lobbying, and waiting, movement is occurring in Switzerland's renewable heating oil market. Signs indicate that more green molecules will enter Swiss heating systems starting next year.

After the Swiss electorate rejected the draft for a national CO2 law, the future of gas and oil heating in the country became uncertain. Without unified national regulations, the 26 cantons have turned to their local energy laws to regulate the heating sector. This has led to a situation where there are 26 different laws, which vary significantly. Some cantons impose no restrictions on oil heating, while others have enacted a complete ban.

Europe’s journey to becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 reflects a bold, structured approach to combating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This roadmap, rooted in the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement, outlines a comprehensive framework to meet ambitious targets, transforming Europe’s energy landscape over the next few decades. However, given the complexity of European energy needs and infrastructure, especially in the heating sector, low-carbon liquid fuels are positioned to play a crucial role in helping the EU meet its 2050 goal.
