EU to Require More Sustainable Aviation Fuels from 2025
10.10.2023 By Tank Terminals - NEWS

October 10, 2023 [Peoples Gazette]- Aircraft in the European Union (EU) would have to be fuelled in a more environmentally friendly way from 2025 under a new law.

 

From then on, there would be a quota on how much so-called sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) must be blended in with conventional fuel, EU member states announced on Monday.

It officially approved a compromise previously reached with the European Parliament.

SAFs included fuels made from bio-waste; fuel derived from cooking oil as well as synthetically produced fuels.

“The quota for less harmful fuel will be set at 2 per cent for 2025 and gradually increase to 70 per cent by 2050,” a statement said.

Additionally, flights in the EU would have an environmental label from 2025, which takes into account the estimated carbon dioxide footprint of a flight per passenger.

This is meant to enable travellers to better compare the environmental impact of different flights.

The new law is part of the EU’s far-reaching ambitions to tackle climate change, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by at least 55 per cent by 2030.
