Jet fuel companies will have to start supplying a 2pc share of SAF by 2025
EU sets 70pc SAF target by 2050
Deal includes subtargets for synthetic fuels
The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU have reached a deal on new legislation requiring aviation fuel suppliers to provide a minimum share of 70pc sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2050, with a subtarget of 35pc synthetic fuels. The definition of SAF will include synthetic fuels—including renewable hydrogen and its derivatives—certain biofuels produced from agricultural or forestry residues, algae, bio-waste, used cooking oil or certain animal fats, and recycled jet fuels produced from waste gases and waste plastic. However, it will not include fuels derived from feed or food crops. SAF supply makes up less than 0.05pc of total EU aviation fuel use.
