Heating with liquid fuels – A reliable heat supply for today and tomorrow

To play an active role in facilitating the transition to a decarbonised economy, the following parameters are needed:

A pragmatic approach - Support and speed up the replacement of obsolete and inefficient heating systems, regardless of the technology, to achieve genuine energy savings and CO2 emission reduction.

A stepwise integration of renewable energy sources - Enable further emission reductions while maintaining a secure supply of energy and well-proven technologies for the largest range of citizens by promoting hybrid heating solutions, and not only the more expensive options.

A contribution to the renewable electricity storage debate - Properly consider the autonomous and unrivalled energy storage capacities of liquid fuels in the definition of the regulatory framework for an integration of heat and electricity markets and the discussions about system adequacy.

A focus on achieving policy objectives, not punishing technologies - Use primary energy savings and CO2 emission reduction as the main parameters for EU and national legislation, leaving a free choice of technologies for citizens.

A technology-open approach and a diverse energy mix are the best way to avoid overreliance on one specific source.
