Stephanie Govaerts2026-05-19 08:20:262026-05-19 08:22:10Building Europe’s alternative fuels industry for military resilienceFuel Security is a critical enabler of European defence readiness. As geopolitical tensions rise and energy markets transform, Europe’s military fuel supply chains face growing vulnerabilities. HCSS research explores how declining refining capacity, import dependencies and the energy transition are reshaping fuel resilience across air, land and maritime domains. Ensuring reliable access to military-grade fuels requires a strategic approach that combines stronger supply chains, alternative fuel production and closer civil-military coordination. Building fuel resilience today is essential to sustaining military operations and European security tomorrow.
Our Fuel Security for Defence research is part of the HCSS Energy Security Initiative chaired by Irina Patrahau.
