Summary
GeneratedThe ReFuelEU Aviation regulation mandates increasing minimum shares of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) supplied at EU airports, starting at 2% in 2025 and rising to 70% by 2050. It directly obliges fuel suppliers and airlines, creating a harmonized framework for the aviation and fuel production sectors. The legislation was formally adopted and entered into force in October 2023.
