European Union Aviation Safety Agency publishes first ReFuelEU Aviation Annual Technical Report

In Germany, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) published the first ReFuelEU Aviation Annual Technical Report, laying out the initial picture of how Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are being supplied, purchased and used across the European Union (EU).

The findings establish a baseline: in 2024, the fuel suppliers reported that 0.6% of all aviation fuel supplied at Union airports was SAF – equivalent to 193 kilotons. This led to avoiding around 714 kilotons of CO₂ emissions. To put this in perspective, 714 kilotons of CO₂ emissions is the equivalent of around 10,000 flights between Madrid and Paris, according to the ICAO CO₂ calculator. 

For 2025, there is a mandatory target for 2% of the total aviation fuel supplied at designated Union airports to be SAF.
