Conference review
 

The 19th International Renewable Mobility Congress "Fuels of the Future 2022", which was held in digital format for the second time from 24 to 28 January 2022, ended on Friday 28 January. The five organising associations of the German biofuel industry welcomed more than 500 participants from more than 31 nations to the digital trade congress. 

In a total of 15 forums, more than 60 experts from the biofuel sector as well as the petroleum, automotive and chemical industries, the mobility, logistics and transport sector, politics and science presented their strategies, concepts and measures for more climate protection in transport and discussed them in detail with the participants of the trade congress.  The representatives from the biofuel industry agree: The ambition level of the legal climate protection targets must be raised. Market-introduced biofuels and synthetic fuels are already ready for use. A debate about prioritising e-fuels versus biofuels is therefore obsolete. Both technologies must continue to be promoted and used - each has its own strengths and innovative biofuels will also be needed in the future.

To mark the 20th anniversary, the International Congress is planned to take place in Berlin from 23 to 24 January 2023.
