- 0:13Renewable potential for the platform programme for renewable fuels. Very good afternoon some European
- 0:31countries have already begun to vote for elections to the European Parliament which are presented
- 0:35as the most decisive in recent years. The Spaniards will come this Sunday to
- 0:41the energy surges. There are many issues that need to be discussed in the
- 0:46next legislature on policy, energy and sustainability. They will have to see the
- 0:50commitments in the energy transition and where they will be left in the climate targets
- 0:55with the new revisions. But it is also that many other important factors come
- 0:59into play, such as the reindustrialisation of Europe and the strategic autonomy of the
- 1:04continent of many more issues than we think are at stake and that we will
- 1:08now analyze in this programme, as always with the collaboration of the platform for
- 1:12renewable fuels Renewable mobility. The latest news. The first stop is the letter
- 1:37sent by the AOP to the candidates for the European elections on 9 June.
- 1:42The demands and proposals of the sector to achieve climate neutrality for two thousand and
- 1:47fifty. It has already called for a comprehensive Union strategy for the transition of
- 1:49fuels, liquids and products for industry towards the next European institutional cycle. The
- 1:56sector at national and European level insists that renewable fuels facilitate an accelerated reduction of
- 2:00emissions in transport. By road and demand excluded, to be included in decarbonisation
- 2:06plans and REPSOL. He has supplied 11 thousand liters of renewable fuel to feed
- 2:12the generators of Taylor Swift' s concerts in Madrid and that he acts on
- 2:16Wednesday and Thursday. In addition to the generators, this 100% green fuel
- 2:21has served to give energy to the production trucks of the concerts and to another
- 2:24hundred trailer of the organization of the event and cepta supplies fuel hundred ten percent
- 2:30renewable to clients of the professional transport directly, already in the installations of several
- 2:37companies offers solutions adapted to their needs. A fuel that also promotes the circular
- 2:44economy. It is produced from organic waste such as cooking oils or agricultural waste
- 2:49that would otherwise end up in the landfill produces it in its energy park of
- 2:54the radish. In Huelva the renewable mobility meeting begins and we begin by greeting
- 3:16our guest who we have a little away in Brussels. But of course it
- 3:23is where everything is decided in the European Union, and this David Carpintero is
- 3:27the Director General of ITIUR, the European Association of Renewable Ethanol. David How
- 3:32about, very good afternoon Hello, very good afternoon, Miguel, I prefer
- 3:36to be with you. He also accompanies us here Ramon, Valdivia, as
- 3:39a member of the Executive Committee of Presidency of the IRU of the International Rosinnium,
- 3:46which is the employer of the European transporters in Ramón How about very good
- 3:51very good Vigueles? So is the patroness of the rorists in the world,
- 3:53in the inés cardinal world, the spokesperson of the platform for renewable fuels,
- 3:58if that is so, very good, if they are Miguel, good morning,
- 4:01because we start with my answers in Europe and in everything that we play
- 4:06in these elections, because it is a program very close to the present.
- 4:11I believe that with Ramón and David we will be able to see a little,
- 4:15therefore, the opportunities presented by this new cycle, the challenges in the
- 4:18European Union. I believe that it has brought to the agenda an issue that
- 4:21was absolutely forgotten, which is the safety of its Minister. And, well,
- 4:27then, the European cycle, seeing what things can change in the promotion
- 4:30of renewable fuels. And, well, I think today another very very interesting
- 4:33program in which we' re going to learn a lot. I' m
- 4:36sure if we' re going to start with David if it' s enough
- 4:42for you to tell us a little bit about the goals that are set in
- 4:46the association that you represent a little bit of the interests of your members to
- 4:54the European Union, a little bit of the whole renewable tano industry. Effectively,
- 4:56that' s right, Miguel. We have in the European Association the
- 5:00twenty- one European renewable- tano producers, which are the companies that have
- 5:06and operate fifty biorefineries throughout Europe. They are distributed, well, from southern
- 5:13Spain to Bulgaria, then you can go up if you want, to Lithuania,
- 5:18Sweden, the UK are also members of our association and well, what
- 5:21we do is a little defend being the voice of these refineries, of these
- 5:28companies at European level in Spain, that presence. Oh, look at Spain.
- 5:33The main producer is a company that we would say inherits the tahanol plants
- 5:39of the former Bengo. The company is called Bertxpaide Energy, has its headquarters
- 5:42in Madrid and operates biorefineries that are located in Cartagena, at the beginning of
- 5:49babilafuente, near Salamanca, near Coruña also and has a fourth floor in the
- 5:56south of France. And now you also tell us about Ramón de Batís a
- 6:02little bit about what we expect or what we cannot expect from the European elections.
- 6:05And Ramón told me that the IRU is the world patroness of the transporters,
- 6:11who also looks with attention, for what can emerge from these elections,
- 6:15obviously, the illusion in the year nineteen hundred forty- eight, following the
- 6:20root of the end of the Second World War. It is precisely on the
- 6:27basis of the importance that road transport, the transport of goods by road and
- 6:30passengers by road, has in order for the economic resurgence to take place.
- 6:35As I say last year we have turned seventy- five years in the last
- 6:40year and already in the two thousand nineteen, as representative of the road transport
- 6:46industry, we present our compad green or the Green Compact, which is based
- 6:50on five pillars, one of which, for example, is the use of
- 6:55alternative fuels, renewable fuels, in particular, because we see it as a
- 6:59close possibility, a feasible possibility, a very interesting possibility for our industry,
- 7:03our work in this whole world, but mainly in Europe, which has the
- 7:10most advanced legislation in this regard, so that we can meet the objectives of
- 7:13making renewable fuels more sustainable. Moreover, and it seems a lie that it
- 7:21has been discovered so late that there is not a concern that there would not
- 7:25have been before, a European concern for its energy independence, for being no
- 7:30longer dependent on supplies that could be geoestdologically very problematic. But, well,
- 7:35welcome, so now we' re gonna have to boost it. Europe'
- 7:39s industry is particularly that of Spain, which is a country that lends itself
- 7:41very well to this type of fuel, to the manufacture and creation of this
- 7:45type of fuel and we, as the second country in international road transport that
- 7:50we are within Europe, need these elements in order to be able to comply.
- 7:56We don' t have any other alternatives. It is not real that
- 8:00we can continue to carry the goods from Huelva to Copenhagen with a solution other
- 8:05than the combustion engine. At this time and as they arrive or do not
- 8:07arrive, we can certainly radically advance our compliance with the revolutions of gas emissions
- 8:13of effect. Of course, but there is a little bit now, a
- 8:16second vine There is a bit of contradiction, because at the same time it
- 8:22is said that, because you almost caused all the evils of the world,
- 8:26but at the same time it is necessary. As you have said many times,
- 8:28transport is those veins that form Europe, so there is no clear position
- 8:35for good. Indeed, what I am always saying is that what is not
- 8:41sustainable is our way of life, our welfare states, in short, our
- 8:46way of living in Europe or in the world, let us say more advanced
- 8:48Occidenta, without transport. That is not conceivable or sustainable. We must therefore
- 8:54ensure that transport is effective. No. And besides, it' s that
- 8:58this thing you' re saying is very important because we have an alternative.
- 9:01We have an alternative so that the combustion engine of trucks moving goods across Europe
- 9:05is as climate neutral as an electric vehicle. And that alternative is renewable fuels,
- 9:13which are neutral in feud emissions. Therefore, it is not necessary to
- 9:16disdain a whole technology that for them, as Ramón said, is fundamental in
- 9:20order to be able to transport goods from Huelva to Copenhagen, for an existing
- 9:26park that he will now comment in more detail, but that, moreover,
- 9:30does not stop to age, to become more and more old. And,
- 9:31therefore, there is an alternative. There is the alternative that the European Union,
- 9:35in the new political cycle, has to really pose as an alternative at
- 9:39the same level as others. Not David, as you see it from lis
- 9:43completely agree that what Ramón is saying now, the problem is not the type
- 9:50of engine. It is that when we have sometimes heard from certain political groups,
- 9:54that is, that the solution of energy reflection goes by imposing the electric
- 10:00motor and discriminating the internal combustion engine. We would say this, this is
- 10:05not standing, because the problem is not the engine. The problem is what
- 10:09kind of energy you put in that engine, that is, put in an
- 10:11electric motor or electric motor that you are feeding it as it is now with
- 10:18a large percentage of fossil electricity And you can have, on the other hand,
- 10:22an internal combustion engine that although they used to run on fossil fuels,
- 10:28because they have already developed the necessary infrastructure for renewable fuel, but now,
- 10:31today, we have renewable fuels that make this type, let' s say,
- 10:37of internal motor, as renewable as an electric one that operated with 100
- 10:43% renewable energy, which is not currently the case. At European level,
- 10:48I suppose we discovered in the electric mix only 20% renewable electricity, the
- 10:52rest of fossil electricity. And this is something that is not being said in
- 10:56the debate. Not and they are generating negative consequences for industry, not at
- 11:01national level, but at European level. And this is an increasing concern in
- 11:05the discussions with the various political groups for the next elections and from certain political
- 11:09groups, as renewable fuels have been discriminated against and when they are a very
- 11:18important part of achieving the objectives of the energy transition. No one' s
- 11:24questioning. What they cost is the how and the consequences it has. And
- 11:28we are delegating the evidence that these renewable fuels offer us right now in Europe.
- 11:37All this comes because next Sunday night the results of the European elections will
- 11:41be known. You can or can foresee or some change or you have analyzed
- 11:48a little bit or David himself in Brussels how these feelings are a little bit
- 11:54expensive what can happen depending on whether one or another comes very close to the
- 12:00analyses here there are different sources of information in Brussels that are projecting what the
- 12:07intention of voting these elections may be and we have followed closely also the exhibitions
- 12:11of the different political groups. And, well, you also have to see
- 12:15a little bit where Miguel came from. We would say earlier, in the
- 12:20next term of office of the European Commission, which is now ending, we
- 12:26would say that German Uflo Monderleyin was appointed President of the Commission because there was
- 12:31a government agreement, a coalition between the European People' s Group and the
- 12:35European Socialists. And we would say in this coalition, in this previous Commission
- 12:39that we have had so far, we would say this collection of government was
- 12:43based, used Underley is named President, but everything that is the Green Pact
- 12:50and all that is the energy transition policy is left to the Socialist Group.
- 12:54And here what we have seen is that well, because an emphasis has been
- 13:00made. We would say very important about electrification at the expense of what renewable
- 13:05fuels offer us, until, well, a moment, given with a little
- 13:11over a year ago the French Commissioner and here Breton, he raised his voice
- 13:13and said, gentlemen, let us think about the consequences this is going to
- 13:18have for European industry, which does not question what the objectives of the energy
- 13:22sensation are, but it says how we reach them and what the price is
- 13:26to turn off from the point of view of European industry, because there are
- 13:31other ways of doing things and other ways of reaching those objectives. And we
- 13:35can defosilize. We would say with electricity, but we can also defosilize,
- 13:39we would say with the energy it provides us, the biomes more and more
- 13:43in the end is solar energy, because they are the plants, the solar
- 13:48energy captures and they offer us that biomass that we can use in very different
- 13:52ways. One of them is energy production, and no one is questioning sustainability.
- 14:00We can do this in a very sustainable way, which there are criteria,
- 14:03the European Renewable Energy Directive, when it is sustainable, and European renewable
- 14:09producers, as well as biodiesel producers. I too met those criteria, because
- 14:13otherwise we would not be able to produce our renewable fuels. We produce them
- 14:18from biomass. As long as we are meeting these sustainability criteria, with which
- 14:24you have supported the problem. Discrimination against these bees and fuels is born good,
- 14:28because an emphasis that we believe does not help in favor. We would
- 14:35say of an electrification we would say that it is imposed at the expense of
- 14:39renewable fuels. We do not deny the need for ctrification. It is necessary
- 14:43and we play an important role, but we must not discriminate, at European
- 14:48or Spanish level, renewable combustis, because they are a necessary solution and without
- 14:52them, as Ramón is aware, we are not going to achieve the objectives
- 14:58that we ourselves have set ourselves that this Green Pact and this ambitious transition.
- 15:03In fact, before talking to Ramón about the May registration data in Spain,
- 15:05as they had fallen in an important way, the registrations of electric cars and
- 15:09that practically everything that was registered in Spain in the next five years had to
- 15:16be electric to bring us closer to the objectives, although also, as David
- 15:20Ramón says, there is already in community territory. The key has been a
- 15:26bit of a balance of power, in which the Social Democratic Party took a
- 15:30little more charge of the energy issue and discriminated against those fuels. Although Germany,
- 15:37which Social Democratic government has also been in collection with the Mer Party that
- 15:43the Conservatives did bet a little more. That' s why, okay.
- 15:46They have a very powerful automotive industry and surely they have seen it the legias
- 15:52to the wolf of good, the Germany to the sale of electrics, we
- 15:56have commented here, it was going down months. Here, in Spain,
- 15:56we are Europe' s second largest producer of automotive in European terms, which
- 16:03above all points out that we all have well- founded hopes not that we
- 16:10can have a more stable, clearer and more stable situation The legislation of the
- 16:15last two years that has come from Europe, from the European Parliament, has
- 16:18rarely been an avalanche, perhaps because they thought we would not have another chance
- 16:22and I have never seen the European institutions run so far, as regards Parliament,
- 16:27to test different directives and regulations. There are now elections between which the
- 16:30new Parliament is constituted and not constituted. We are at the end of the
- 16:34year, as measures are being taken, because another year is coming, but
- 16:37we will have this uncertainty in mind. And that leads to the fact that
- 16:41the six million long trucks in Europe, in the European Union, are circulating
- 16:45and heavy otocars are getting older, as I would have pointed out, and
- 16:52we are walking in the opposite direction, because a new vehicle consumes between twenty
- 16:56- five and thirty percent less than old vehicles. But if they are exercising
- 17:00because the decisions to be made by those who have to make it, by
- 17:03the purchasing decision makers, of those who have to renew their fleets, because
- 17:07they are in strong doubt because there is too much maremagnum of new legislation.
- 17:11It has, in my opinion, been taken at least in the opinion of
- 17:14going to Europe on a level. They have set objectives that are practically the
- 17:18same, regardless of what use is made of each energy sector, and I
- 17:22would like to remind you that for those of us who represent professional road transport.
- 17:30A truck or not touching can hardly ever be standing. We have to
- 17:34aim to make it work as long as possible. While a tourist, a
- 17:37vehicle of what we buy, not us to move, is standing ninety-
- 17:41five percent of his life. The same objectives and visions of how problems can
- 17:45be dealt with cannot be achieved for two situations as completely different as trucks or
- 17:52touch them with respect to cars or motorcycles. I didn' t want to
- 17:56point to fact, David, a very important thing. Not that we seem
- 18:00to be questioning the objectives. I don' t think anyone is questioning the
- 18:03objectives anymore. Of course, from the platform for renewable fuels. We are
- 18:08absolutely committed to emissions neutrality by two thousand and fifty. The question is how
- 18:12we achieve those objectives. No. I believe that Europe needs to rethink in
- 18:15this political cycle how it wants to achieve these objectives, because, as David
- 18:19said, the objective, which is not electrifying, is to achieve emissions neutrality,
- 18:25as we said, and for that number of emissions there are many paths.
- 18:29And I think that in this cycle what has to be proposed is that
- 18:30it is the best thing for the citizen and for the European company, because,
- 18:34moreover, we are in a kind of clamp between China and the United
- 18:38States that they are, that they are promoting all the technologies and being much
- 18:45more technologically neutral in this transition and I believe that that is good for the
- 18:49whole of society, because in the end we will generate less dependencies of new
- 18:56critical minerals that we know will generate many tensions in the supplies, because our
- 19:00trans transport companies, like Representado and Ramón, will be able to choose the
- 19:03alternative that is more efficient for them. Also a very important thing that has
- 19:06done to say this is not a war between technologies, it is that all
- 19:08are going to be absolutely necessary and there will be a medium short distance carrier
- 19:15for which it is a perfect solution the electrical change, but not for all.
- 19:18I think this is important to stress that the objectives are very clear,
- 19:25but how we get to them will determine the future of the next generations of
- 19:30Europeans and there it will hope. They say that the new Commission can change
- 19:38something within the margin of manoeuvre it can have with the revision of the Green
- 19:44Pact. Well, let' s see no and I think that here at
- 19:48the end of the voices grow more and we will say that they are questioning
- 19:52just how we reach the objectives and that they propose that we say that there
- 20:00has to be a reconciliation with the impact that it has on industrialization and on
- 20:03the economy and on the citizens. There is a constructive expression that is sometimes
- 20:06we have to say combine the end of the world with the end of DNS.
- 20:11And let' s see I think that the next Commission has to have
- 20:15this much more in mind, because, moreover, we cannot stay in Europe
- 20:18on an island when we see it or in Spain, also when we must,
- 20:22for example, at the global level, as Brazil has a policy of
- 20:26support for renewable fuels that goes beyond without the left or the right is in
- 20:29power. It is a state policy that follows regardless of the political color and,
- 20:33moreover, a very well- built Brazilian policy. Then we see that
- 20:37the United States has quickly set its sights and we would say in the great
- 20:41development that there will be policy in the coming years. It will be the
- 20:45whole issue of renewable fuels in aviation. And well, there he is taking
- 20:49some important steps with the inflation reduction aut the famous and the IRA and the
- 20:56IRA And well, he is putting in the measures of credits credit tags and
- 21:00against taxes to pay, after they will greatly stimulate industrial and technological development.
- 21:11So the United States, here is preparing the accelerator, has a program within
- 21:14the IRA the fortieth day we would say, it' s going to make
- 21:21it easier for U S producers, well, to qualify for these tax credits
- 21:26and a production of rheumatable fuels that meet at least that fifty percent savings in
- 21:33greenhouse gas emissions. And well they are not also different subsidies to improve their
- 21:40position and in terms of saving greenhouse gases, linking the rest to the adoption
- 21:45by farmers of a series of measures we would say of agricultural and sustainable practices
- 21:49that, curiously enough, are already very advanced in the United States. I
- 21:56think that here, in Europe, we would say are almost beginning. It
- 22:00is not the subject of the reduced processing of plant cover on the ground.
- 22:06So what we would say is an overall US policy, which is positioning it
- 22:11from a competitive point of view. We would say and very strong and at
- 22:17the same time very sustainable to what is the production in the coming years of
- 22:22renewable fuel for aviation and that here in Europe, well, what we said
- 22:25was not going to favor the advanced ones. Defining advanced, we would say
- 22:32based on not what you are saving from greenhouse gas missions. Without the use
- 22:37of certain gestures, certain raw materials for the production of these fuels, which,
- 22:45well, I think it puts us in Europe in a position we would
- 22:51say of weakness vis-à- vis the United States, because we will
- 22:56not be able to produce nil volume or with the cost that the United States
- 23:00will do for the aviation combus study, but stop putting six. Another very
- 23:03fast example, more about the transport of the light vehicle that in France has
- 23:08with the fuel eighty- five. This is a fuel that if you go
- 23:12to a gas station to a serving station in France, you will find that
- 23:15it is he ten on the one hand, but then the eighty- five,
- 23:18which is a combustible with a double social function and social climate. Well,
- 23:25it has a price that is almost half of the edie of the 10
- 23:27diesel and this is done thanks to a very favorable foscality, because, well,
- 23:33then, it is provided. We would say to a sector which,
- 23:40in addition to this type of fuel and at a very competitive price and which,
- 23:44moreover, has a very important contribution towards the de- consolidation of road
- 23:51transport with a light vehicle. France has a very clear vision, a vision
- 23:52of the state and that helps it both in terms of environmental and climate aspects,
- 23:57but also in terms of social aspects. Perhaps from Spain we could learn
- 24:02from how France is dealing with fuel taxation, from how we have been doing
- 24:07it so far and from the progress we have seen in both countries, which
- 24:10are issues that raise that if all the Ramón countries have that goal of strategic
- 24:17autonomy of Europe. What David is telling us, we are doing in the
- 24:22opposite direction. It is precisely because this circular economy is not promoted, it
- 24:29helps us to agriculture and it is penalized fiscally, even if it is not
- 24:37given the equality it should have. Our transport operators, in many cases,
- 24:41are beginning, in agreement with their customers across Europe, to use, for
- 24:45example, what is called HV, the SAPPA equivalent, to be a renewable
- 24:48fuel that is neutral of emissions of so two, but has the same tax
- 24:53burdens as if it were of origin, it depends on barrel of oil.
- 25:00It seems contradictory that our mouths are filled. Let' s say from the
- 25:03public authorities in the sense that we want to fight the emissions of zudos and
- 25:08when you get to it, don' t have to call it minimal help.
- 25:11Logically, if you pass the example of eighty- five, it'
- 25:14s very good. When the price is very attractive, demand rises quickly.
- 25:17The distribution network adapts through demand and that causes production to begin to grow and
- 25:21become cheaper. We' ll have a very important chance. And in addition,
- 25:26we have already had the experience of what it means to depend on the
- 25:30outside, and this is a very important element. Beyond all we want to
- 25:32say, it is very important that the blood of the European economy remains agile
- 25:36and functioning. When the war in Ukraine began and the price of gas skyrocketed,
- 25:41all those who had bet on trucks and coaches powered by natural gas had
- 25:48a very important suffering. We' ve already learned that we can' t
- 25:53be with that dependency. We must have a strong local European base and every
- 25:57country in place, in Africa, yours so that we can have this kind
- 26:00of fuel, this kind of energy independence, which is also for us and
- 26:04we need aid, of course, tax. That seems to coincide in all
- 26:08the countries, that is, that we are going to look at that the
- 26:12way in which you believe what we have said in good. I am left
- 26:17with the fact that, in fact, I think that I hope that Europe
- 26:21will rethink itself a little bit. As David said, the targets. This
- 26:22should not depend on the political color it is. This should be a continent
- 26:27target. In this case, to look for what is best for everyone.
- 26:32And well, I think that window of opportunity opens and, of course,
- 26:34we will continue to defend this alternative, because we believe in it from the
- 26:41platform. I believe that in the end it will be imposed, because,
- 26:44by its own weight, as Ramón Valdivia, David Carpintero, is usually said.
- 26:48Thank you both so much for forcing with us, thanks to you,
- 26:52I don' t know until next time. Thank you very much, and
- 26:55it was learning more fuel, renewable platform. Point is the new remodeled page
- 27:00of the platform and you can listen and learn more until the next one.
