The European Parliament sets ambitious targets for an EU-wide mandate to uplift SAF that includes the world’s first e-fuel uptake obligation.

The European Parliament (EP) voted on Thursday to support the European Commission’s ReFuelEU Aviation proposal to introduce an obligation to uplift an increasing percentage of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for all flights leaving the bloc starting in 2025. However, it decided to change some of the commission’s text and endorse most of the amendments put forward by its Transport and Tourism Committee late last month.
