As the European Union advances binding decarbonisation measures across transport, the role of e-fuels has become one of the most contested issues in EU energy and climate policy. Aviation is preparing for the gradual introduction of synthetic fuel obligations under ReFuelEU Aviation, while maritime transport faces a more fragmented transition under FuelEU Maritime, alongside difficult and unresolved negotiations at the
By the Green Mobility Magazine in partnership with the eFuel Alliance. A new study by the eFuel Alliance, developed with Porsche Consulting, argues that the debate over e-fuels in Europe should shift from technological feasibility to industrial deployment. In an interview with the Green Mobility Magazine, CEO Ralf Diemer said the report assesses the global potential of e-fuels and their
Q: How would you assess the automotive supply industry’s progress on sustainability in recent years? Automotive suppliers are committed to achieving climate neutrality in their European operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2040 and across the value chain (Scope 3) by 2050. This ambition is backed by concrete action. Between 2023-2024, the group of largest automotive suppliers have collectively reduced

By Mohsen Behzad Karimi, EU Correspondent & Analyst, Green Mobility Magazine. Defence capability is often measured in platforms and personnel. Far less attention is paid to the mobility and logistics infrastructure that allows force to move, endure, and regenerate. This analysis argues that sustainable mobility has become one of Europe’s most consequential defence enablers, directly translating strategic autonomy into operational readiness. European defence capability is usually assessed through force structure, procurement, and spending levels. Yet recent conflicts have reaffirmed an older strategic truth: logistics, energy access, and mobility infrastructure determine operational endurance. The war in Ukraine has exposed the fragility of fuel-dependent supply chains and the decisive value of resilient transport systems. Against this backdrop, sustainable mobility must be understood not as an environmental adjunct, but as strategic infrastructure at the heart of European defence planning. Mobility, energy, and geopolitical dependency Contemporary geopolitics is increasingly shaped by control overflows rather
Anne-Sophie Frigout est députée française au Parlement européen, membre du groupe des Patriotes pour l’Europe. Engagée dans la défense des automobilistes et de l’industrie automobile française, elle a fait ses premières armes en 2022, comme députée à l’Assemblée nationale, où elle a notamment été la première à déposer une proposition de loi visant à abroger les Zones à Faible Émission — un dispositif imposé par Bruxelles, destiné à exclure des centres urbains, les catégories populaires n’ayant pas les moyens de changer de véhicule. Aujourd’hui, au sein de la commission Environnement, elle poursuit ce combat pour que l’Europe tourne la page d’une écologie exclusivement normative et repense en profondeur les fondements de sa stratégie industrielle automobile. Si le Green Deal a contribué à faire basculer l’Europe d’une terre d’industrie automobile à un simple marché, pris en étau entre la Chine et les États-Unis, sans pour autant répondre aux défis écologiques, la
Anne-Sophie Frigout is a French Member of the European Parliament, affiliated with the Patriots for Europe group. Committed to defending motorists and the French automotive industry, she began her political career in 2022 as a deputy in the National Assembly, where she was notably the first to propose a bill aimed at repealing Low Emission Zones — a Brussels-imposed measure that would have excluded lower-income residents from city centres, as they could not afford to change their vehicles. Today, as a member of the Environment Committee, she continues this fight, advocating for Europe to move beyond a purely regulatory approach to environmental policy and to fundamentally rethink the foundations of its automotive industrial strategy. If the Green Deal has contributed to turning Europe from a land of automotive industry into a mere market, caught between China and the United States, without truly addressing environmental challenges, the new majority in the

Europe’s exposure to hybrid threats reaches into the systems that preserve food, store blood products, transport passengers, and maintain communications. Over recent weeks, refrigeration cyberattacks have forced supermarkets to discard stock and threatened plasma stored by France’s blood service. Bomb threats have prompted aircraft diversions, military escorts, and security searches. Investigations into attacks on satellite communications infrastructure have led to
France’s preparations for a major European conflict depend on keeping civilian services functioning while deploying armed forces abroad and responding to disruption at home. Parliamentary testimony exposes the practical tension: the personnel, infrastructure, and suppliers needed for military mobilisation also sustain the economy on which that mobilisation depends. A National Assembly defence committee report brings together hearings conducted in May
By Dariusz Dybka, Director, von Kietz The Warsaw Security Forum (WSF) 2026 was a chance to rethink how Europe talks about security and how it delivers it. But first, the EU and NATO need to define what security as a common good means, and how far its geographical scope extends. With a long confrontation with Russia, hybrid threats, and growing
On Saturday, my family and I watched from our balcony as CRS riot police confronted protesters and, subsequently, rioters outside the government building opposite our flat. Our exposure was necessarily limited, but the distinction between those who had come to express their dissatisfaction and those who had come to cause violence was quite clear. The procession itself, the cortège, followed
Over the past two weeks, a series of security incidents has affected critical and strategic infrastructure across Europe. Rail disruption, drone incursions, incidents affecting airports and border infrastructure, fires and attempted attacks involving defence-industrial sites, and increasingly serious military encounters have all formed part of the European security picture. These events have different circumstances and, where established, different attributions. They
