Sustainable Aviation Fuels Task Group discusses SAF Policy Toolkit

16 June 2022 - The ECAC/EU Sustainable Aviation Fuels Task Group (SAF-TG) met virtually to consider the policy recommendations arising from the SAF Policy Toolkit developed in 2021 by Clean Skies for Tomorrow, an initiative led by the World Economic Forum aimed at promoting the decarbonisation of the aviation sector.

Co-chaired by Inmaculada Gómez (Spain) and Magnus Gislev (DG MOVE, European Commission), the meeting reviewed in detail the structure and content of the SAF Policy Toolkit. The participants identified some elements that it could be interesting to include in the ECAC/EU guidance being developed by the task group, such as the graphic overview of regulatory layers for a SAF market, or how policy options for a scaled SAF market are structured.

A guidance update incorporating these elements is expected to be discussed at the next SAF-TG meeting, scheduled on 7 July 2022.
