Europe’s industrial competitiveness is increasingly central to the energy transition. As the EU advances its decarbonisation objectives, it must also maintain investment, industrial capacity, economic resilience, and energy security.
Refining and fuel manufacturing remains a strategic part of Europe’s industrial ecosystem, supplying essential products, supporting employment and investing in renewable and low-carbon fuels for sectors where alternatives remain limited.
Drawing on FuelsEurope’s latest publication and new Oxford Economics analysis, this policymakers’ dinner will bring together policymakers, economists and industry representatives to discuss the sector’s contribution to growth, jobs and public revenues. The debate will explore the policy and investment conditions needed to preserve industrial capacity, accelerate innovation, and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness, strategic autonomy and security of supply.
