OUR MISSION

Bringing the sector’s expertise to Brussels

We defend the interests of our members at European level. Our advocacy seeks to safeguard the independence and resilience of our membership, while advancing their ability to supply fuels to households and motorists of the European Union.

We represent Europe’s small- and medium-sized fuel distributors in the EU legislative debate. The ECFD intends to work closely with the European institutions contributing the expertise of its members on energy, transport, and heating issues. In doing so we often partner with organisations representing other sections of the fuels value chain, such as FuelsEurope and Eurofuel.

We are committed to promoting energy efficient systems and a better integration of renewable energy sources. We advocate for a clean and secure European energy mix within a competitive market, supported by non-discriminatory EU energy policies.

ECFD aims to:

  • Support research into innovative fuels, to facilitate the transition to a defossilised heat supply with a diverse mix, focusing on the deployment of synthetic fuels generated exclusively with renewable energy (e-fuels)
  • Develop & supply state-of the art heating systems to achieve genuine energy savings and reduce CO₂ emission
  • Promote the autonomous and unrivalled energy storage capacities of liquid fuels
  • Foster a technology-open approach, leaving free choice to European consumers
  • Help to raise citizens’ awareness about energy efficiency in buildings and heating systems.
