The US EPA has announced that it finalized increases in renewable fuel volume requirements across all categories of biofuels under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. In a required annual rulemaking, this action finalizes the volume requirements and associated percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel for 2017, and for biomass-based diesel for 2018.

More and more countries are demanding fossil-free energy for marine fields of application. The fuel cells are expected to quadruple the ships autonomy and hydrogen gas is a way for the marine sector to gain access to a fossil free energy solution. Together with a consortium, fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden AB has applied for EU funding for the development of a system based on fuel cell technology for integration and testing in marine environments.

The Belgian dredging, environmental and marine engineering group DEME and China COSCO Shipping have formed a joint venture to develop offshore wind energy in China.

The Parliament calls on the EU Commission to aim to reduce the EU’s dependency on gas in the long term by using it more efficiently and gradually phasing out fossil fuel subsidies.
