The two-day maritime conference is scheduled to take place at Copenhagen’s AC Bella Sky Convention Center on 23-24 February 2027. World Maritime Forum 2027 will return to Copenhagen for two days of industry dialogue at the AC Bella Sky Convention Center. Organised by IGGS Group, the gathering will unite shipowners, ship managers, shipbuilders, ports, authorities, maritime suppliers and service providers.
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

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.

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

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 International Maritime Organization. Across both sectors, debates over technological neutrality, scalability, and cost increasingly intersect with more fundamental questions about energy efficiency, resource allocation, and physical limits. In this interview, Jutta Paulus, Member of the European Parliament, reflects on her path from science to politics and on how a natural-sciences background informs her approach to transport and energy legislation. She sets out where e-fuels are indispensable, where they are inefficient, and why policy choices must reflect thermodynamic realities rather than industrial or political convenience. Q: How did you first become
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 role in the European transport sector, focusing on volumes, timelines and costs. “When we started with the eFuel Alliance back in summer 2020, the number of companies seriously pursuing e-fuels was small. Six years on, we are looking at a fully-fledged global industry, and one that is ready to scale. The study underlines this potential,” Diemer said. The publication comes at a point where the European policy debate is shifting. As the European Union advances its 2040 climate targets, questions around delivery are becoming more prominent. Electrification remains central to
By Shane Bradley As someone who votes Green and is a member of the party, while also working as a consultant in Brussels on aviation issues, I often feel I am living a contradiction. Aviation is often cast as incompatible with climate action, yet for Ireland, it is an essential lifeline. My work is not about defending business as usual but about ensuring the sector engages fully with regulation, invests in innovation, and accepts accountability for its climate impact. This is not an industry in denial, however. It is self-aware, under scrutiny, and working urgently to find solutions. Every time I fly into Dublin and watch the coastline appear through the clouds, I am reminded of how much this matters. For an island nation, aviation is not a luxury. It is how we connect with the world, sustain our economy, and keep millions of Irish people abroad linked to their

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
