ReFuelEU Aviation initiative: Sustainable aviation fuels and the 'fit for 55' package
EU lawmakers signed a regulation on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport, otherwise referred to as the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, on 18 October 2023. It was published in the Official Journal on 31 October 2023 and will apply from 1 January 2024. However, Articles 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 will apply from 1 January 2025. The new regulation is a part of a legislative package to make the EU's climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse ...

RefuelEU Aviation
On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented the 'fit for 55' package – a set of proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, land-use, transport and taxation policies fit to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030. The package includes the ReFuelEU Aviation initiative to increase the supply of sustainable aviation fuels at EU airports. Following a vote in its Committee on Transport and Tourism, Ϸվ is expected to vote on its position at its plenary session in July ...
Revision of the EU emissions trading system: Aviation
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from aviation have been included under the EU emissions trading system (ETS) since 2012. Because of international pressure, a derogation is in place for emissions from flights to and from third countries. With aviation emissions projected to increase to 2050, the European Commission's proposal for a revision of the EU ETS for aviation, part of the 'fit for 55' package, aims to ensure the sector contributes to reaching the climate goals. Ϸվ is due ...
ReFuelEU Aviation initiative: Summary of the Commission proposal and the Ϸվ's draft committee report
On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented the fit for 55 package – including a number of proposals to help cut emissions from transport. The package includes a proposal to increase production and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), also known as the ReFuelEU Aviation initiative. In this proposal, the Commission puts forward obligations on fuel suppliers to distribute SAF when supplying fuel at EU airports, in order to enhance SAF uptake by airlines and so help reduce emissions from ...
Sustainable aviation fuels
As part of the fit for 55 package to make the EU's policies fit for the EU's climate targets, on 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented a proposal to increase the production and use of sustainable fuels in aviation, also known as the ReFuelEU Aviation initiative. In the draft regulation, the Commission proposes placing obligations on fuel suppliers to distribute sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and growing the share of SAFs (including synthetic aviation fuels, also known as renewable fuels ...
'Fit for 55' legislative package: ReFuel EU Aviation
The impact assessment (IA) accompanying Commission's ReFuelEU Aviation proposal provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis, which is based on sound and recent data. The IA presents clearly described policy options and openly explains uncertainties in the analysis. However, contrary to the Better Regulation Guidelines, the IA does not assess the impacts on SMEs. In addition, the assessment would have benefited of further clarification in the comparison of options, the scale of the defined problems ...
