Explore T&E's e-SAF data and reportWith a potential to cut CO₂ emissions by more than 90 per cent compared to fossil jet fuel, e-SAF is the most sustainable aviation fuel, and it can be produced at scale.
With 41 announced projects, Europe could be a trailblazer for e-SAF, presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity to align climate ambition with industrial renewal and strategic autonomy.
The EU must use the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) as a mechanism to help get these projects off the ground:
-
Prioritise e-SAF via a comprehensive EU strategy with targeted support and financing
-
Reinforce the stability of ReFuelEU by upholding the e-SAF sub-target and penalties, and focusing reviews on enabling conditions.
-
Ensure fair access to jet fuel infrastructure and competition across the e-SAF market
-
Establish a market intermediary, funded by aviation ETS revenues, to run double-sided auctions to support e-SAF production and offtakes.
-
Mobilise EU instruments like the Innovation Fund, SAF allowances, and Hydrogen Bank to support e-SAF.
