Dutch State Aid Schemes Clear European Commission Hurdle
The European Commission has approved two Dutch state aid schemes worth €290 million to fund new sustainable aviation fuel production plants. The schemes aim to support the development of advanced bio-sustainable aviation fuel and synthetic e-SAF, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation sector. The approval is the first under the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework and sets a regulatory template for other member states to follow, as reported by Unknown Source.
