European airlines likely beat 2% green jet fuel target last year
In Germany, Reuters reported that Europe’s aviation sector hit – and may well have surpassed – a 2% mandate for green jet fuel use in 2025.
The achievement, previously unreported and due to be confirmed in a report later this year, marks a sharp turnaround from a year earlier when uptake was just 0.6%. Airlines had repeatedly warned that targets would be missed, the report added.
“We believe we will be at or even above the 2% in 2025,” Florian Guillermet, head of regional aviation safety body EASA, which monitors implementation of the targets, told Reuters in an interview in Cologne.
EASA will publish official data on last year’s sustainable jet fuel (SAF) use in Europe after the summer. Jet fuel use has been thrust further into the spotlight as the Iran war lifts oil prices and disrupts supplies.
