The optimal design of rules and economic framework conditions is crucial for the rapid market ramp-up of reFuels. For example, potential producers urgently need clarity on whether and how renewable electricity-based fuels will count towards the EU's greenhouse gas reduction quotas. Without this clarity, no company will invest in the construction of the infrastructure that is so urgently needed in the near future. In an initial phase, the market and regulation innovation focus identifies all potential market barriers and discusses solutions for overcoming them.

The market and regulation innovation focus is being led by experts from RheinMain University of Applied Sciences and the consultancy firm Frontier Economics.

"Our contribution is aimed at networking relevant stakeholders to identify, analyze and process the market and regulatory requirements for the generation, distribution and use of synthetic fuels based on renewable energies and the development of solutions."
