What Happened

Brussels Backs Emerging Technologies for Cleaner Skies

The European Commission has approved two Dutch state aid schemes worth $334 million to support sustainable aviation fuel projects, targeting non-HEFA advanced biofuels and synthetic aviation fuel. The funding aims to produce roughly 285 kilotonnes of SAF annually, equivalent to about 350 million liters of conventional jet fuel. The schemes are designed to support the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, which requires fuel suppliers to raise the share of SAF supplied at European airports over time. This development was reported by Environment+Energy Leader.
