UPEI & FETSA "Energy for the Future" Cooperation

UPEI, together with our partner association FETSA (Federation of European Tank Storage Association) set up the «Energy for the Future» Project in 2022, which aims at increasing our EU advocacy actions to further promote and accelerate the energy sector transition towards carbon neutrality.

UPEI and FETSA collaborate closely to promote shared priorities in EU energy and climate policy. This long-standing collaboration is supported by Weber Shandwick, UPEI’s trusted advisory partner for many years, helping to strengthen dialogue and engagement with EU institutions.

By joining forces, UPEI and FETSA contribute to EU policy discussions on key regulatory and legislative developments, bringing industry expertise to the table at a time of significant political and economic change.

The collaboration addresses a broad range of EU policy files, including:

• Oil Stocks Directive
• Energy Taxation Directive (ETD)
• EU Taxonomy
• Renewable Energy Directive (RED III)
• Emissions Trading System (ETS), including maritime and buildings/transport
• Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)
• CO₂ standards for light-duty vehicles
• CO₂ standards for heavy-duty vehicles
• FuelEU Maritime
• Euro 7
• Green Deal Industrial Plan
• ReFuelEU Aviation
• Carbon Removal

Through coordinated advocacy and shared positions, UPEI and FETSA aim to support well-informed, pragmatic EU policymaking. Any common positions adopted by UPEI remain subject to approval by its Board.
