The aim of this action is to create a single forum representing the European alternative, renewable liquid and gaseous fuels as well as non-renewable low carbon fuels (lignocellulosic, algae, microbial, power to gas/liquid, solar fuels, fuels from industrial waste gases, fuels from municipal solid waste, plastic waste and refinery waste, co-processing of biomass intermediates in existing refineries etc.) producers.
