dear cOlleagueS, With the demand for oil products shrinking, the increase of eu regulations on lowcarbon emissions, and the growing competition from emerging market, the europeanfuels industry has to quickly adapt to the changing market to ensure itscompetitiveness!

the 2014 european fuels conference provides a critical platform for europeanfuels leaders to meet colleagues and put in place the vital components needed toaddress and overcome current challenges of the european fuels market. Allcritical issues are explored – from the impact of the shale gas revolution on futuregasoline import-export, to the role of russia in global and european fuel flows, fromthe supply demand balances in the “new feedstock era” to the way towards biofuels.

Over the years the european fuels conference has brought together over 1500industry experts and regulators. And 15 years on, the event has firmly cementeditself as the number 1 strategic event for the european fuels industry.

and this year we have built an agenda that truly reflects the priorities ofthe european fuels community through the creation of a one daystrategic event gathering all the most senior industry experts andregulators of the european fuels industry. you wanted more strategiccontent, more networking and less time out of the office - so we’repacking all the best bits into just one day!

The meeting place for leaders from the refinery, aviation, automotiveand marine industriesWith 100 of the most senior figures in the refinery, aviation, automotive andmarine industry, the european fuels conference provides a critical platform forthe european fuels industry to meet colleagues, peers and partners, and put inplace the vital components needed to overcome the current challenges and remaincompetitive in a difficult market.

i look forward to welcoming you in rome!

Excellent forum:engaged, competent

and honest participantscontributed to positioningsome of the bricks of thisvery complex puzzle.”

Ron Timmers, Head ofIndustry Segment,

Linde AG

“

Giacomo Rispoli, executive vice President rSP/r&M - ricerca, Sviluppo tecnologico eProgetti - refining & Marketing division, enI

What is the advantage of making instead of buying in the way towardsbiofuels?

Profiting of the current biofuels scenario, ENI chose to apply the“make option”, thanks to the Venice Green Refinery project, whichallows ENI to dispose of distinctive innovative biofuels, obtained by theproprietary ECOFININGTM technology, able to improve the ENI finalproducts quality, in comparison to competitors, for end consumersadvantage. In other words this is a process and product innovation”

philippe Marchand, directeur of Biotechnology - new energies division, Total

Are Jet fuels the highest profit margin transportation fuel?

The reduction of the carbon footprint of the Aviation Industry isstrategic: we should see an emerging market for alternative,renewable and sustainable jet-fuels in the near future , hopefully inEurope , where we have all the key actors and elements for successful ,innovative and integrated supply chains to be built”

Hugh Tucker, technical director, uKpIA

can uK hold its own in an equal fight?

The UK has refineries that can hold their own given a level playingfield with global competition – are the legislators helping or

hindering? How the UK industry is taking the fight to the policymakers”

Alessandro Bartelloni, Policy director, europia

What is the role of The european commission fitness check for the future ofeuropean fuels Industry?

The Fitness Check currently underway for the refining industry willlook at the cumulative impacts and overlaps of legislation only on a

historic basis, implementation of existing legislation and newregulations that could damage competitiveness should be postponed,until this is complete, and subject to thorough and transparent ImpactAssessment”
