Message : First delivery: AustroCel Hallein supplies OMV with advanced bioethanol The test run of the world s largest bioethanol plant based on wood has proven successful OMV and AustroCel start cooperation with second-generation bioethanol 1.5 million liters a month of the advanced biofuel will be delivered from January 2021 Substituting biofuel for fossil fuel will save around 45,000 metric tons of CO2 per year The first successful trial delivery of advanced bioethanol marks the start of the long-term cooperation between OMV, the integrated, international oil, gas and petrochemicals company headquartered in Vienna, and AustroCel Hallein GmbH. The Hallein-based bioethanol plant has an annual capacity of up to 35 million liters, making it the world s largest bioethanol plant based on wood. In the first year AustroCel H
Lack of support to renewable fuels will jeopardise transport decarbonisation and hamper climate-neutrality by 2050.
An accurate zero-emissions approach to mobility should consider the carbon footprint of the vehicles across their overall lifecycle.
Supporting expensive technologies that will not be affordable for many consumers any time soon will prevent equal access to clean mobility for all EU citizens.
The new Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy will not help the EU deliver the critical decarbonisation of transport. The transport sector releases today 20% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. A cost-effective and swift decarbonisation will be only feasible with the deployment of all renewable energies and technologies alike. In the clean mobility equation, all renewable alternative fuels and their corresponding technologies and infrastructures need equal support to drastically reduce emissions by 90% in 2050.
