The Dutch Platform Renewable Fuels, the German Platform InnoFuels and ETIP Bioenergy invite you to join our
collaborative online workshop on how renewable fuels can contribute to the resilience of our societies.

We aim to have stakeholders develop propositions together that can organise improved energy resilience, making use of
already commercially available renewable fuel conversion technologies, that produce drop-in renewable fuels, distributed
and produced in existing infrastructure, and with European feedstock.

We are pleased to invite you to our Online-Workshop, which will take place on 06.November 2025 from 09:00 to 12:15.
With this workshop we kick-off of a collaborative effort in which we aim to build the necessary coalition to organise this
European renewable fuel system.

Such a system makes use of already commercially available renewable fuel conversion technologies, able to rapidly scale.
Moreover, it needs to produce drop-in fuels that can be used in existing engines and infrastructure and make use of the
European feedstock base (renewable electricity, biomass, CO ). The inherent decentral character of renewable fuel
production also improves the resilience of such a system.

Please find the agenda below.

 

AGENDA 06.11.2025

09:00-09:15 Welcome and proposition of renewable Fuels on Resilence Topics
Loes Knotter of the Platform Renewable Fuels
Dr.-Ing. Olaf Toedter (InnoFuels) Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Patrik Klintbom (ETIP Bioenergy) Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE)
09:15 - 10:00 Part 1 – Setting the scene for a proposition of renewable fuels for resilience
Contributors: Patrick Bosmans (NATO/CEPS) Ville Korhonen (DG ECHO), Frank Schulze (Exolum Gmbh)

Discussing:

  • Analysis to set the scene (Platform Renewable Fuels)
  • Mismatch between current renewable fuel production capacity and European feedstock base
  • Military requirements
  • NATO’s single fuel strategy
  • Assessing current instruments for strategic autonomy & resilience in the EU
  • Stockpiling Strategy & Critical Stock Obligation
10:00- 10:15 Coffee & tea break
10:15 - 11:00

Part 2 – Co-creating a ramp-up proposition of renewable fuels for resilience
Contributors: Patrik Klintbom (ETIP Bioenergy), Olaf Toedter (KIT), Christian Hanke (German efuel one)

Discussing:
  • Questions we have on process engineering: How fast can the sector ramp-up?
  • European-based production with European feedstocks: Avoid material dependencies from overseas
  • Central vs. decentral: How to combine the inherent decentral character of renewable fuel production to current storage & distribution infrastruction
  • Need for Member State collaboration for increased and accelerated test and demo capacity
  • How to combine efuel and biofuel capacity for enhanced production system?
11:00 - 11:15 Coffee & tea break
11:15 - 11:45 Part 3 – How do we organise a new kind of supply system based on renewable fuels?
  • How to fast-track collaborations between Member States?
  • Roadmap for enhanced renewable fuel production (renewable electricity, biomass, CO2)
  • Identifying key stakeholders
  • How to apply for funding?
11:45 - 12:15 Closing
Loes Knotter of the Platform Renewable Fuels
