Sustainable Aviation Fuel Key Policies
1. ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation
Policy Summary: Mandates at least 2% SAF blending from 2025, rising to 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050 across EU airports. - Applies to fuel suppliers, airports, and airlines; includes anti‑tankering provisions to prevent evasion.
2. SAF Mandate
Policy Summary:Launches in 2025 (2%), targets 10% SAF by 2030 and 22% by 2040. - Introduces a tradable certificate system for compliance flexibility.
3. 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit
Policy Summary:Provides tax credits for low‑carbon fuels under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (§45Z). - SAF may earn up to ≈ $1.75 per gallon depending on lifecycle carbon intensity (CI). - Incentivizes cleaner feedstocks and production pathways.
4. LCFS(Low Carbon Fuel Standard)
Policy Summary:California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard rewards fuels with lower lifecycle carbon intensity. - SAF generates tradable credits if CI < baseline; deficits if CI > baseline. - Widely adopted along the U.S. West Coast as a major SAF value driver.
