Energy data group Argus has released an overview of how sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) regulations will increasingly impact aircraft operators. The report, “2025: The Year of SAF Mandates,” highlights the industry’s new obligations under the European Union’s ReFuelEU SAF mandate legislation and the emissions trading scheme (ETS), while also providing an update on policies in other regions of the world.
Under ReFuelEU, aviation fuel suppliers are required to provide minimum quantities of SAF with mandatory quotas rising progressively from 2029 and then quite steeply between 2049 and 2050 to account for around 80% of all fuel, including synthetic fuels. The UK’s SAF mandate is set to rise from 2% this year to 20% in 2040, with progressively tightening limits on the amount of fuel that can be produced from hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids.
