Over 350 CEOs and representatives from the European energy industry urge the designation of bioenergy equipment manufacturing as a strategic technology in the Net Zero Industry Act in an open letter delivered to European Commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton.
The European Parliament ITRE Committee already broadened the legislation to include the entire net-zero supply chain, recognizing bioenergy’s importance. Bioenergy Europe applauds the Parliament’s stance, advocating for Member States to also adopt a technology-neutral and effective Net-Zero Industry Act.
In an era marked by climate change concerns and the need for sustainable energy alternatives, the European bioenergy industry, and its stakeholders reaffirm their commitment to support the European Union’s net-zero goals by 2050.
In an open letter delivered to European Commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton, more than 350 CEOs and high-level representatives of European energy companies emphasized the crucial role bioenergy technologies play in shaping Europe’s green future.
“The EU institutions should designate the manufacturing of all bioenergy equipment as strategic technologies in the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA),” said Jean-Marc Jossart, Secretary General of Bioenergy Europe. “This recognition would send a powerful policy signal, fostering investments and maintaining Europe’s leadership in modern bioenergy solutions,” continued Jossart.
