SAF Production Must Expand to Meet 6% Mandate by 2030, says EASA
Under the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, introduced in 2023, airlines operating within the EU must incorporate SAF into their fuel mix, starting with a 2% minimum by 2025.

Biofuel-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), made from materials like used cooking oil or wood chips, could reduce aviation emissions by up to 80%, according to government and industry officials, and is seen as the key green solution for
Despite many airlines having pledged to use 10% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to fuel their planes by 2030, its use has only grown from 0.04% of global aviation fuel in 2021 to 0.17% in 2023. In an effort to boost SAF adoption, the UK
