Overview

  • Stefano Ballista of Enilive emphasized that biofuels can power light vehicles, heavy transport, maritime shipping and aviation without new infrastructure.
  • Enilive currently processes 1.6 million tons of biofuels annually and plans to scale up to 5 million tons by 2030 to support road, sea and air transport.
  • More than 1,300 Enilive stations across Europe now offer HVOlution diesel made entirely from renewable feedstocks alongside electric charging and LNG options.
  • David Chiaramonti noted that biofuel output must double or triple from 2023 levels to meet net-zero goals and buy time for emerging zero-emission technologies.
  • FuelsEurope, representing 40 companies with 95 percent of the continent’s refining capacity, has toured over 20 countries since 2023 to showcase market readiness ahead of the June 23–24 Brussels events.
