Gasoline prices are rising, and while drivers can switch to electric cars, other sectors face fewer alternatives. Aviation, shipping and heavy transport still rely on liquid fuels — and electrification is not yet a realistic option for many of these fleets. In this episode of Invested by Europe, Tiago Lopes, a senior engineer at the European Investment Bank, explains: • what sustainable liquid fuels are • why they are critical for aviation and maritime transport • what is preventing them from being produced at scale in Europe • what is at stake for Europe’s energy security and strategic autonomy.
