GE Aviation fully supports the widespread adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and the objectives being pursued by the ReFuel EU Aviation initiative. While technological innovation and advancement will provide foundational carbon emission reduction opportunities for the mid-to-long term, the use of SAFs present a more immediate solution with significant reduction potential (up to 80%).

GE Aviation has been actively involved in assessing and qualifying SAF since 2007 and works closely with SAF producers, regulators, and operators to ensure that SAF can be widely adopted for use in aviation. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) are critical for the decarbonization of the aviation sector. For smaller aircraft, SAF will be a bridging measure until zero-emission technologies are mature and market ready.

APAG welcomes the Commission’s proposal for the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation. We are pleased by the horizontal alignment with the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) on sustainable transport fuels and the choice of a Regulation over a Directive. We are delighted that the European Commission’s proposal aims at promoting truly sustainable biofuels for aviation.

GE Aviation supports the European Commission’s ambition to align GHG emission reporting methodologies. This will reduce the fragmentation that currently exists across the transport modalities and ultimately promote the uptake of emission reporting. Given the multitude of frameworks that are already in existence and/or currently being developed, there are certain considerations that should be taken into account.

Cefic supports the Commission's proposal for a common methodology based on the ISO 14083 standard. However, it remains important to continuously monitor other valuable sources and references which are consolidated in the market and may offer more accurate guidance for GHG emissions calculation and reporting. The use of primary data should be encouraged as much as possible to ensure more precise calculations.
