EU and Japan jointly invest €10,7 million for breakthrough research on 
advanced biofuels and alternative renewable fuels
The European Commission’s Directorate General for Research and 
Innovation announces today the launch of three joint projects in the 
area of advanced biofuels and alternative renewable fuels. The projects 
stem from a call supported by the EU together with the Government of 
Japan, represented by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, 
Science and Technology (MEXT). It falls under the framework of the 
EU-Japan Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement. The projects will 
start on 1 May 2021.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, 
Education and Youth said:

We need to replace fossil fuels to reach the ambitious goals of the 
Paris Agreement on climate change. The cooperation between researchers, 
institutions and industry in the EU and Japan will foster breakthrough 
innovation in advanced biofuels and alternative renewable fuels and will 
strengthen the European and Japanese technology base in those areas. We 
are looking forward to strengthening our cooperation under Horizon Europe/./

in particular often captures public imagination, finding itself 
popularised in books and films and regularly generating alarming 
headlines: asteroids.
