Together with 7 other organisations, we have sent a joint letter calling for ambitious sub-quotas in the ReFuelEUAviation.

The EU aviation sector is a cornerstone of our economic strength and a backbone of the transport sector. Air transport is becoming increasingly important, but it must also become increasingly clean. Therefore, the switch from fossil jet fuel to sustainable alternatives is all the more important to achieve the EU climate targets.

Ahead of the upcoming trilogue on the ReFuelEU Aviation, the signatories want to strongly express their support for ambitious targets of 6% SAF and thereof 2% synthetic aviation fuels in 2030, scaling up to 85% SAF and thereof 50% synthetic aviation fuels in 2050, which mirror the EU’s climate protection efforts, as proposed by the European Parliament.

How quickly the further development of a SAF industry and the production ramp-up will be rolled out depends strongly on the political will. Because the industry is waiting in the wings. All that is left to do: introduce ambitious targets to provide the necessary planning and investment security.
