A4E remains fully committed to decarbonising aviation, cutting emissions, and reaching Net Zero by 2050. Abundant and affordable SAF is critical in order to reach this goal.

However, we are deeply concerned that the ReFuel legislation is failing to create the affordable SAF market it promised. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report published today forecasts a shortfall of up to 45% in eSAF and 30% in biofuel supply by 2030.

The European Commission and Member States must now take responsibility: fuel suppliers are not delivering.

Without urgent action in the coming months, the credibility of the mandate will be severely undermined — and a reassessment of the mandates will be needed.
