In the Annual General Meeting of Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels (LSB) on June 16, 2016, Piero Cavigliasso, director of institutional relations and public funding for BioChemtex, Tortona, Italy, was appointed chairman for the next year.
LSB consists of leading European companies investing in advanced biofuels, including BioChemtex, BTG, Clariant, Dong Energy, St1, UPM and British Airways.
Cavigliasso states: “This is a critically important year for advanced biofuels. We are looking forward to the Commission communication on decarbonizing transport, due in July.
We believe that after COP21, the EU must give consideration to all available solutions to fulfill its climate commitments: provided the right policy framework is in place, our companies stand ready to further deploy the most innovative technologies to produce advanced biofuels. We can contribute to the reduction of transport emissions, but also bring important additional benefits in terms of European investment, jobs, energy security.”
We are ready to continue the most positive and constructive dialogue with EU institutions and stakeholders in order to define the appropriate, sustainable and long-term policy for advanced biofuels.”
