From EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson there were no discoveries for the use of biofuels for cars from 2035 release. The European Commission intervened to clarify what was revealed the other day after the statements of Kadri Simson in an interview with Ranews 24. Press Secretary of the EU Energy Commission, Tim McPheevery clearly explained the meaning of Kadri Simson’s position.
EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson did not specifically say that biofuels would play a role in a future EU ban on internal combustion engines, but spoke in general terms and said that biofuels are part of various energy-related parts of EU legislation.
Recall Simson stated that “biofuels is a topic that will be covered“. declares that caused a positive reaction from some representatives of the Italian government. including Minister for the Environment and Energy Security Gilberto Picetto and Minister for Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility Matteo Salvini.
However, the European Union quickly intervened, clarifying Simson’s statement and refusing to start possible negotiations on biofuels. So for the EU, the commissioner was saying in general and not saying at all that biofuels will play a role in the 2035 legislation, just like e-fuels.
In short, it seems that Italy does not currently have the opportunity to discuss at the European level the possible use of biofuels after 2035. The only certainty is that from 2035, along with electric vehicles and fuel cells, only new e-fuel-only endothermic vehicles can continue to be sold.
However, as we already know, the Italian government does not intend to abandon biofuels, even if it has announced that it is already ready to invest on a large scale in electric fuels.
