Network For Sustainable Mobility calls for technology-neutral CO2 regulation

Central demand

The current policy is too one-sidedly focused on electrification. The network is calling for technology-neutral regulation that also includes sustainable, renewable fuels such as biofuels and e-fuels.

Münzer Bioindustrie GmbH also supports this demand. Owner and CEO Ewald-Marco Münzer comments: "Europe cannot afford a one-technology strategy. We need to take a path into the future that is ambitious, inclusive and technologically sovereign - one that unleashes the full potential of all climate-neutral solutions, including sustainable renewable fuels."

Concrete proposals to the EU Commission

1. Adherence to the review schedule according to the Automotive Industry Action Plan (Q3/Q4 2025)
2. Technology-neutral framework conditions that enable innovation on both the vehicle and fuel side
3. Report on market and technology diversity as a basis for revising the CO2 targets.

Three implementation proposals

• Carbon Correction Factor (CCF) for crediting climate-neutral fuels.
• New vehicle category for exclusively CO₂-neutral fuels, with digital monitoring or mass balance approaches.
• Clear definition of CO₂-neutral fuels based on the EU Renewable Energy Directive ((EU) 2023/2413).

Appeal to the European Parliament

The network calls on political groups to adopt a joint resolution that commits to open, technology-diverse and cost-effective decarbonization.

Target vision

A regulatory framework that reconciles decarbonization and competitiveness and enables freedom of choice for citizens and businesses.
