France launches EBIOCARB, a €26 million programme for sustainable fuels
Published
France has launched EBIOCARB, a research programme endowed with €26 million. This sum includes €15 million from the France 2030 plan, the State's investment programme dedicated to the future of the country. The project is part of the Programme et équipements prioritaires de recherche (PEPR).
EBIOCARB brings together 18 research laboratories. Their goal is to develop sustainable fuels, that is, fuels produced from renewable resources, in order to reduce the impact on the environment. The work focuses on two sectors: aviation and maritime transport, two areas where it is difficult to replace fossil fuels with electric solutions.
This programme is part of France's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable fuels are considered an important solution for decarbonising transport sectors that still depend heavily on oil.
The research results will help improve understanding of the manufacturing processes for these fuels and assess their potential on a large scale. The programme has yet to show its first concrete results in the coming years.
