Companies from across the aviation and energy value chains are calling on European national governments to commit funding for an e-SAF pilot auction via a double-sided auction mechanism to kickstart the e-SAF industry in Europe.
With a potential to cut CO₂ emissions by more than 90 per cent compared to fossil jet fuel, e-SAF is the most sustainable aviation fuel, and it can be produced at scale. However, despite favourable conditions, e-SAF projects continue to face significant hurdles in Europe, including challenges related to energy costs, infrastructure, and CO₂ sourcing.
In this letter coordinated by Project SkyPower, 40+ leading companies across the SAF value chain are calling on EU national governments to jointly commit funding to a pilot e-SAF tender. This tender would use a double-sided auction mechanism to help scale e-SAF (sustainable aviation fuel produced from clean electricity) across Europe.
