EU backs increased use of synthetic fuels

The European commission is backing the development and increased use of synthetic fuels as part of an integrated approach to future energy supplies.

Addressing leading automotive manufacturers and fuel companies in Brussels on Tuesday, EU industry chief, Gunter Verheugen said synthetic fuels needed to quickly break into the EU’s fuel markets.

“I hope to see the wide-scale introduction of synthetic fuels soon…its success will be measured by the speed and extent of [its] market penetration.”
