EU: European Green Deal

European Parliament gave green light to first-ever EU climate law on 24 June 2021
• Interim target: Reduction of GHG emissions of at least 55% by 2030 (on 1990 levels)
• Climate-neutrality by 2050

“Fit for 55” legislative package
• Proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation
  policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55%
  by 2030, compared to 1990 levels

Revision of various regulations and directives planned, i.e.
• Emissions Trading System (ETS)
• Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR)
• Revision of the Energy Tax Directive (ETD)
• Amendment to the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II)

Renewable Ethanol
As fuel

• Produced from local, renewable raw materials
• High-quality fuel for petrol engines
• Ensures that fossil carbons remain in the
  ground permanently and do not continue to
  drive climate change
• Less greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen
  oxides & particulate matter emissions
  compared to fossil fuels
• CropEnergies ethanol reduces CO2 emissions
  by an average of more than 70% compared to
  fossil fuel.

Ethanol
>70% less GHG emissions compared to fossil fuels*

• The GHG values of all elements in the value-added chain are added up
• The emissions from ethanol when used in combustion engines is zero
• European ethanol reduces annual GHG emissions by >10 Mt**

•    Roughly two thirds of the newly registered cars run entirely or partly on gasoline
•    Renewable fuels: immediately available – without new infrastructure and vehicles, but more residues and wastes
•    E-mobility: growing – but does not reduce CO2 footprint of existing fleet, high costs for infrastructure & new car fleet
•    Synfuels: promising – but not yet available at scale

      • From 2023: Protection of water und maritime resources, transition to circular
        economy, no/less environmental pollution and protection of
        biodiversity/ecosystems
• Evaluation
      • Positive: basic idea and recognition of the contribution of biofuels to climate
        protection and the adaptation to climate change
      • But: exclusion of crop-based biofuels for climate change mitigation measures is
        arbitrary and in contradiction to the Renewable Energy Directive
