The revamped European Alternative Fuel Observatory (EAFO): progress so far and new developments ahead

The European Alternative Fuel Observatory (EAFO) is the main, central reference portal for publicly available information on alternative fuels (AF) vehicles and AF infrastructure in the EU, supporting policy-decision making. EAFO oversees the continuous improvement of open data availability, by collecting, verifying and analysis of relevant alternative fuels, vehicles, and infrastructure data to enable the assessment of the European Commission of the actual deployment of infrastructure by the Member States. The move of EAFO to the EC Europa domain in 2022 shows a clear signal to the Member States and to public authorities, about the growing relevance of alternative fuels. Besides the current process of AF vehicle fleet and sales and AF-infrastructure data for road transport, the scope of the portal extends to the maritime section and the development of an AF aviation section and rail.
