The EU Parliament backed landmark rules on aviation fuel. According to these rules, there are set targets for the replacement of kerosene with less-polluting energy sources. The Parliament also extended the definition of green fuel.
According to Reuters, these regulations say fuel suppliers have to blend a minimum of 2% of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into kerosene starting from 2025. This amount is set to rise to 85% in 2050. This is more ambitious than the previous target, which was 63% by 2050.
“The requirements, which if approved would be a world first, were originally proposed by the European executive commission last year to cut the climate impact of the aviation sector, which is deemed responsible for up to 3% of global emissions.”
The original proposal stated that SAF has to include bio-based fuels from recycled waste and hydrogen-based synthetic. The new rules extended the definition and also allow recycled carbon fuels from waste-processing gas and biofuels manufactured from animal fats.
The next step is for the rules to be approved by member governments and the EU Commission.
