EU-India SAGB Webinar
The Carbon Accounting Renewable Fuels webinar took place on 28 August 2024 and was organised by the EU-India Stakeholder Group on Advanced Biofuels (EU-India SGAB) in the context of the EU-India Clean Energy and Climate Partnership.
Carbon accounting in the EU-RED
In the European Union fuel suppliers have to demonstrate that the renewable fuels they deliver to the transport market comply to the sustainability requirements set by the EU. part of consists of showing that the greenhouse gas emissions throughout the production and supply chain are below a threshold value in comparison to the fossil fuel reference. Specific calculation rules apply, how does that work?
Carbon emission reduction in the aviation and maritime sector
Both in the aviation sector and the maritime sector the awareness about the rising greenhouse gas emissions as a result of increasing air and sea travel. Currently, if the maritime and aviation sectors were countries, they would rank as 6th and 7th largest country globally, so there is a clear urgency to tackle the transition away from fossil fuels and implement measures to reduce future carbon emissions.
In the webinar the audience was informed about the details of the European calculation in the Renewable Energy Directive, about how the international organisations governing the aviation sector and the maritime sector, how involved industry players have developed carbon emission reduction plans and which global methodologies exist to calculate such reductions.
