Consistent and ambitious EU policy provides the necessary market stability and investment certainty required to scale EU biodiesel and bioSAF production. By setting clear regulatory frameworks, the EU can empower its industry and drive down the carbon footprint of transport.
Policy areas
Trade
EBB plays a vital role in ensuring fair competition by actively addressing unfair trade practices, such as dumping or illegal subsidies. Initiating and funding the trade cases, the EBB protect the domestic biofuel industry from market distortions, supporting a stable and balanced economic environment.
Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) transposition
The EBB RED III Monitoring Tool tracks how Member States transposed the “overall architecture” of REDIII: targets, subtargets, scope, caps, incentive mechanisms.

Road transport
Biodiesel (FAME & HVO) plays a crucial role in decarbonising road transport by offering an immediate greenhouse gas reduction, without requiring major infrastructure or vehicle changes.
Aviation
Sustainable aviation fuel from biogenic origin (bioSAF/HEFA) is the most viable and immediate way to decarbonise European aviation, cutting lifecycle emissions while utilising existing aircraft and infrastructure.
Maritime & inland navigation
Biodiesel (FAME & HVO) offers a scalable drop-in solution to immediately reduce maritime emissions and drive the decarbonisation of EU seagoing and inland vessels without requiring fleet overhauls.
Agriculture
Biodiesel (FAME & HVO) underpins EU agricultural resilience by creating a reliable local market for oilseed crops while simultaneously generating high-protein animal feed co-products that reduce Europe’s reliance on imports.
