On 4 December 2025, Eurofuel hosted a technical webinar entitled “Renewables in Action: Biodiesel (FAME) Pathways in France and the U.S.”, bringing together experts from Europe and the United States to discuss how renewable liquid fuels are already contributing to the decarbonisation of heating.

In France, the shift toward renewable heating is accelerating with the introduction of sustainable biofuels such as FAME, produced from vegetable oils and recycled fats. Recent CETIAT tests show that rapeseed-based biofuels can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 58% and reduce particulates by up to 60%, offering a practical way to decarbonise heating without replacing existing systems.

Eurofuel urges the European Commission to ensure that renewable and low-carbon liquid fuels remain a crucial part of Europe’s heating and cooling transition.

Recent indications from the Commission suggest that the previously planned standalone Heating & Cooling Strategy may now be integrated into the upcoming Electrification Action Plan.
