🗨️ 'The EU’s green revolution can only happen if there are far fewer polluting vehicles. A true and tangible reduction in cars’ emissions will not occur as long as the combustion engine prevails, but at the same time, electrifying the 🇪🇺’s car fleet is a major undertaking.'

Despite ambitions & strict requirements, most passenger cars on 🇪🇺 roads still emit the same quantity of CO2 as 12 years ago. EVs can help come close to a zero-emissions car fleet.
However, emissions targets will not be achievable as long as important prerequisites are missing.

“
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23Biofuels
are meant to contribute to the EU’s climate-neutrality objectives and enhance its energy sovereignty.
With its current biofuels policy, however, the 🇪🇺 is driving without a map and runs the risk of not reaching its destination."

The road ahead for biofuels is unclear and fraught with pitfalls:
🔹The lack of a long-term perspective has affected investment security.
🔹Sustainability issues, the race for biomass, and high costs constrain the deployment of biofuels.

The EU set up foreign direct investment- FDI- screening to protect itself better against potential threats.
Although the 🇪🇺 framework is a positive step and makes it possible to detect more threats, a large proportion of FDI is still not screened, as serious weaknesses remain.
