Industry calls EU to recognise renewable liquid fuels in the Clean Industrial Deal

The European Commission has published the Clean Industrial Deal, which outlines concrete actions to turn decarbonisation into a driver of growth for European industries. This includes lowering energy prices, creating quality jobs and the right conditions for companies to thrive. The plan will mobilise over EUR 100 billion to support EU-made clean manufacturing.

For Liquid Gas Europe, renewable liquid gases have a significant role to play in this transition. In a recent position paper, the association stated that the Clean Industrial Deal is “a big step for EU industry, but this policy must support all viable solutions,” such as renewable Liquid Gas, which is “scalable, cost-effective and secure.”

“Promoting bio- and renewable liquid gases is essential to advancing decarbonization efforts. Traditional liquid gases already offer significant emissions reductions—33% compared to coal and 12% compared to oil. Renewable liquid gases go even further, reducing emissions by up to 80% compared to their conventional counterparts,” they said.

According to the organisation, recognising and integrating low-carbon fuels— specifically renewable liquid gases—is a fundamental step toward an inclusive and sustainable energy transition and a means of enhancing the competitiveness of the European industrial sector
