Subject: Request for a meeting/video conference with
representatives of the automotive, fuel, and energy industry
on the contribution of renewable fuels to climate neutrality
and economic growth
 
Dear 
,
I am approaching you on behalf of an informal coalition
of associations from the automotive, fuel, and energy
industry as well as and civil society in the EU, to
explore the possibility of meeting with you to discuss
priorities in climate policy and carbon emission
reduction in the mobility sector. 
We are committed to the Paris agreement and the even
more ambitious EU objective of climate neutrality by
2050 and support the ambition for the Green Deal to
contribute to economic growth. Climate neutrality can
be achieved through a technology open environment that
balances environmental, social as well as economic
goals. 
The Green Deal is a unique opportunity to align climate
policies, including the revision of the Alternative Fuels
Infrastructure Directive, and to start integrating what are
currently strictly sectoral regulations into a coherent
framework which delivers emission reduction and
defossilisation of energy and fuels at the lowest cost to
society. We stand ready to contribute to the design of
this framework.
To facilitate a discussion, we propose a meeting with a
compact delegation comprised of CLEPA, E-fuels
Alliance, ePURE, FuelsEurope, IRU and NGVA
Europe, which are well placed to speak about the
opportunities and policy solutions from a value chain
perspective.
Understanding the time pressure on your agenda, we
will contact your office in the coming days to find out if

and when a meeting on would be possible in the coming
weeks.
In the meantime, I would like to thank you very much
for your consideration of this meeting request.
With kind regards,
 
With kind regards,, on behalf of
 
AECC, CLEPA, CO2 Value Europe, EBA, EWABA,
ePure, eFuel Alliance,
FuelsEurope, Methanol Institute, NGVA Europe, IRU,
VDB, VDMA, UPEI
 
Please see attached our formal letter to request the
meeting with further information on the industries
represented.
