Despite the ongoing transition to renewable energy sources, reliance on fossil fuels is anticipated to persist until the last barrel is extracted. Recognizing this reality is vital for devising a practical net-zero emission strategy and establishing a robust carbon circular economy. #energy #renewableenergy #green #netzero #netzero2050 #netzero2060 #sustainability #oil #fossilfuels #circulareconomy #decarbonization Image source: vectorstock

Many businesses are turning to Renewable Diesel (HVO) as an alternative to fossil-based fuels. But how do you know if it's the right choice for your operation? Our experts have answered six key questions to help you decide. You can find the answers in our latest blog - link in the comments. #HVO #sustainablefuel #renewablediesel

Is it oversight or intentional blind spots when we overlook the full lifecycle of renewable energy? We all know that 100% clean energy is coming. But are we prepared to face the ethical and moral implications, from the exploitation in places like the DRC to the recycling challenges that haven’t been fully considered?

Earlier this year, FuelsEurope proudly presented its “More than a Manifesto: an Offer for Europe”. 📹 In the video below, I tell you more about what this Offer entails for the EU, its citizens, and businesses. In particular: -         Renewable fuels and products to decarbonise #transport and critical industries; -         Reliable and secure supply of affordable fuels and products; -         An extended supply network reaching every corner of Europe, fully compatible with #RenewableFuels; -         A new decentralised energy production model for renewable products, based on domestic and circular feedstocks. 🍃 Our industry’s offer is not only about words; it is about actions that we have already started to take. Some of our conventional refineries in Europe have been converted into biorefineries, replacing petroleum by 100% sustainable #biomass, alongside investments in new dedicated #RenewableFuel plants, all of them producing 100% renewable fuels and products. Moreover, significant investments are also being made by our industry in other alternative clean technologies, such as renewable electricity, charging points for #EVs or #GreenHydrogen production. 🤝 With the start of the new legislative term, our industry is ready to collaborate with policy makers to design a comprehensive EU Strategy for the Transition of Liquid Fuels and Products that will allow our industry to better contribute to the EU’s climate neutrality goal for 2050.

In March 2025 we are bringing Australian Renewable Fuels Week to Sydney! Following an overwhelmingly successful inaugural event in 2023, Australian Renewable Fuels Week 2024 was another fantastic event as we showcased ways to accelerate the decarbonisation of Australia’s hard to abate sectors. The week celebrated another year of exciting developments in Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Renewable Liquid Fuels and Renewable Gas, as well as our Renewable Fuels Meets Parliament campaign, that saw us engage extensively with Members of Parliament and their advisors as we continue work to progress the bioeconomy in Australia. We brought together industry leaders, developers, and decision makers to demonstrate that bioenergy is critical in Australia’s energy transition, with a two-day conference in Canberra. Day 1 focused on Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Renewable Liquid Fuels, and how these are essential for decarbonisation of industries including Aviation, Marine, Construction, Agriculture, Heavy Road Transport, Rail and Mining. Day 2 focused on Australia's feedstock opportunity and how we can maximise this resource, and the imperative need for domestic deployment of Renewable Gas to support industries reliant on gas for heat and manufacturing. We were delighted to welcome 59 speakers presenting over the two-day conference, we saw 83 Ministers and government representatives engaged, 500 participants attending and 350 media news items generated. In 2025 Australian Renewable Fuels Week will be bigger and better than ever!

Powering the Future: Harnessing Waste Energy 🌍♻️ The energy landscape is undergoing a radical transformation. As we strive for a more sustainable future, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro power are gaining prominence. These clean and abundant resources are not only reducing our reliance on fossil fuels but also mitigating climate change. But the future of energy isn't solely reliant on these traditional sources. A groundbreaking approach, known as waste-to-energy, is emerging as a powerful tool to harness energy from our waste. By converting waste into valuable energy resources, we can reduce landfill waste, lower carbon emissions, and create a more circular economy. Key Trends Shaping the Energy Future: - Renewable Energy Dominance: Solar and wind power are becoming increasingly cost-effective and efficient, making them the primary drivers of global energy production. - Energy Storage Breakthroughs: Advanced battery technologies, such as lithium-ion and flow batteries, are enabling us to store excess renewable energy for later use, ensuring a reliable and consistent power supply. - Waste-to-Energy Innovation: Innovative technologies like incineration and gasification are transforming waste into electricity, heat, and biofuels. By embracing these technological advancements and adopting sustainable practices, we can secure a brighter future for generations to come. #BeResponsible #ikitar #DigitalKitarSemula

Big News: Green Hydrogen from Waste Heat! At Sustainable Solutions IR Ltd, part of Intervention Rentals UK Ltd, we are proud to partner with Robert Gordon University (RGU) on an innovative research project to generate hydrogen from waste heat. This project has the potential to transform industries like food & drink, power generation, and manufacturing, driving the UK closer to its net-zero targets. Through this collaboration, we are developing cutting-edge technology that will not only optimize hydrogen production but also align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for Clean Energy (SDG 7) and Climate Action (SDG 13). Phil Scott, Managing Director of Intervention Rentals, says: "Producing hydrogen and electricity from waste heat will revolutionize sectors such as distributed power, energy storage, and transport. We're excited to work with RGU on this game-changing project." Want to learn more about how this partnership is set to impact the future of renewable energy?

Hear me out! I'd love to have your opinion on this! As we push forward into the renewable energy era, it's important to look beyond just the benefits and address the entire life-cycle, from production to disposal. Renewables like solar panels and wind turbines have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels once operational. But let’s consider the full picture. The production cycle involves mining, transporting, pre-processing, and assembling materials from around the world, often relying on fossil fuels. Despite this, solar and wind can reach a carbon break-even in just 1–3 years for solar and 6 months–1 year for wind, but that doesn’t mean the work is done. Then, there’s the end-of-life challenge. Wind turbine blades are hard to recycle, and solar panels contain chemicals that, without proper recycling, can harm the environment. Few studies fully assess the carbon and ecological footprint of these technologies at end-of-life, raising questions about their long-term sustainability. If we truly aim for a net-zero future, we must focus on making the entire process, from extraction to recycling, sustainable. Otherwise, we risk creating a new environmental challenge while solving another. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CarbonFootprint #GreenEnergy #RecyclingChallenges #EnergyTransition #NetZero #EnvironmentalImpact #LongTermSustainability
