Eurocontrol on Tuesday released a so-called snapshot showing the distribution and availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Europe, underscoring the progress still needed to meet the agency’s “aspirational goal” of a 10 percent use rate on the continent by 2030. Now accounting for .05 percent of total jet fuel consumption, SAF use in such volumes would reduce CO2 emissions from EU departing flights by 8 percent, according to Eurocontrol.
