PRC Europe 2025: Roadmap for the Future of Sustainable Fuels

With increasing regulatory pressures and the global push towards decarbonisation, sustainable fuels have become a priority for companies in the downstream sector. To develop strategies for these challenges, the Petrochemical and Refining Congress: Europe 2025 features a session focused on innovations and possibilities for alternative fuels. The Congress is scheduled on 19-20 May in Milan, Italy.

The downstream sector is facing increasing demands to comply with stringent regulations as part of the global decarbonisation effort. Key legislative frameworks such as the RED II (Renewable Energy Directive), the European Green Deal and ReFuelEU aviation initiative are changing the fuel market, requiring companies to explore cleaner energy solutions. These regulations drive the transition towards sustainable fuels, but they also bring challenges in terms of investment, technology and compliance.

To address the long-term effects these policies may have on the sector, the closing panel at PRC Europe 2025 focuses on the innovations and opportunities for companies transitioning to sustainable fuels. The session explores the regulatory frameworks reshaping the market and the financial strategies required to meet the targets they set.

A significant part of the discussion is concentrated on the investment models that major players can adapt to achieve net-zero goals: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency improvements, increasing renewable energy use. In addition, the panel reviews innovative biofuel diversification strategies with practical examples of how the industry is adapting to environmental challenges.

One of the key speakers, Luigi Crolla (Head of Energy Transition Technologies at Kent PLC) presents a case study on using waste feedstock for the production of SAF. His presentation provides insights into using waste materials to create more sustainable fuel solutions, addressing both the ecological and economic aspects of fuel production.

The panel gathers C-level executives and senior industry representatives, who share their perspectives on navigating regulatory landscapes and fostering technological innovation.

The Petrochemical and Refining Congress: Europe 2025 provides a deeper understanding of the strategies, innovations and developments that influence the future of the downstream sector. Delegates gain knowledge about best practices and case studies, enabling them to stay competitive and foster sustainable growth in the sector.
