EBAA Demands Clear Plan for SAF Book-and-claim in Europe
Accounting process could help to speed up adoption of sustainable aviation fuel, says coalition

EBAA and a coalition of business aircraft manufacturers, operators, airports, fuel producers, and service providers are urging the European Commission to adopt book-and-claim under ReFuelEU regulations to accelerate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) use. In a joint industry letter sent yesterday to key European Union commissioners and directors-general, they noted that the ReFuelEU mandate for fuel suppliers to provide physical supplies of SAF at major European airports may be unworkable.

“Introducing further flexibilities [such as book-and-claim] is of paramount importance to avoid structural imbalances and to reduce overall costs in the EU’s SAF market, while ensuring an efficient deployment of SAF across the EU,” the coalition wrote.
