John Cooper, Director General, FuelsEurope
“Our work started very soon after the Paris Agreement to look at what the transformation of the fuels industry can look like and what kind of technologies, feedstocks, and what kind of trajectory is implied by that work. And, we turned that into essentially a strategy for our industry to provide a pathway by 2050 for all of the remaining liquid fuels demand to be climate neutral. And we could see that some of that could go into each of the sectors, and it meant that both those objectives of meeting quality of life and also climate neutrality could be met with those remaining products that we would produce. And so we decided to call it Clean Fuels for All.”
John Cooper was appointed Director General, FuelsEurope and Concawe in April 2015.
