Auto: Simson, there will be negotiations on biofuels

There will be a negotiation on biofuels. EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said so in an interview with Rainews 24. “Yes, of course – she said in response to a question – biofuels are a topic that is discussed. We support initiatives in this regard, it is my responsibility to support manufacturers, the support is there and it’s strong,” he said. Simson explained that: “the agreement on vehicles has been negotiated for a long time and has been reached. Now the Commission will help the member states to implement the measures. I personally – he said – believe that electric vehicles will soon be very competitive However, the legislation was necessary so that everyone moved in the same direction, because a single and united market is in favor of consumers”.

“Commissioner Simson has confirmed what the government has explained in recent days – said the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto -. The negotiation on bio-fuels is open, and there is willingness on the European side to discuss on the basis of the principle of technological neutrality. Endothermic engines will not retire in 2035, and Italy will be in the front row both in terms of bio-fuels, where we are already ahead, and e-fuels, with the strong investments made on hydrogen. Naturally, electric will be an important technology for the automotive industry of the future. But not the only one”.
