ReFuelEU aireg
SummarySustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are the most important means to reduce aviation‘s climate impact. The climate targets of air transport are only achievable once all options are enabled. To provide sustainable aviation for everyone, it is necessary to design measures to reduce the climate effects of aviation in a cost-effective and technology neutral manner. Earnings […]
Increase and expand blending mandate for sustainable aviation fuels
The blending mandate proposed by the EU Commission as part of the Fit for 55 package is a key measure to achieving the Paris climate targets. To reduce the climate impact of aviation, a rapid market rampup of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) is necessary within this decade. Therefore, aireg advocates an increase of the blending […]
International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition takes a first important step towards uniform targets for climate-neutral air transport
The International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition, founded yesterday at the COP 26 summit in Glasgow, which Germany also signed after some hesitancy, sends an important signal for international sustainable air transport. The change to climate-neutral aviation can only succeed with globally uniform rules and incentive systems. The International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition has set itself […]
ReFuelEU Aviation: EU Commission is initiating what is already legally or factually anchored in some member states
