Boosting sustainable alternative fuels in aviation and maritime transport

The European Commission hosted stakeholders from the aviation, maritime, fuel, and financial sectors for the 4th General Assembly of the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuels Value Chain Industrial Alliance (RLCF Alliance) in Brussels. Held just months after the European Commission unveiled the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP), the event provided a valuable forum for strategic discussion and highlighted the ongoing momentum within the RLCF community.

Throughout the day, participants engaged in a series of workshops and presentations on sustainable fuel projects. A high-level panel discussion facilitated peer-to-peer learning and dialogue among investors, offtakers, project developers, and policymakers.

As the assembly concluded, updates from the Alliance's taskforces reaffirmed the impactful work carried out by the community. By strengthening cooperation across the value chain, supporting project deployment and developing instruments to mobilise private finance, the RLCF Alliance aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable and low-carbon fuels at scale, contributing to the EU's climate and industrial objectives.

Background

The EU Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuels Value Chain Industrial Alliance is a voluntary collaboration of stakeholders from across the transport fuels and pertinent value chains. Ranging from sourcing to end-users, as well as technology and finance providers for every step of the value chain, it represents both the supply side and the demand side from the aviation and waterborne sectors, alongside civil society organisations, governments, and their agencies.
