On January 13, 2026, at the initiative of the Honorable Dario Nardella and with the support of Fuels Europe and of the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), a meeting on “The role of sustainable biomass in decarbonising transport and achieving climate neutrality” was held at the European Parliament. The Biofuture Platform was represented by the Chair David Chiaramonti, who participated in the panel session together with representatives from the European Commission, Copa Cogeca, and Filiera Italia.
The meeting was attended by EU Parliament members, industries, academia, associations, and international organizations. The panel addressed the state of the sector, the related policies, and what is needed to achieve the European Green Deal goals. As emerged from the discussion, reaching climate neutrality will require all available technologies, supported by cooperation and policy coherence across sectors.
