The European Union’s “Fit for 55” legislative package was adopted as part of the EU’s strategy to reduce emissions 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levelsA central component of this decarbonization plan is a blending mandate for sustainable aviation fuel via the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and other Alternative Fuels Used for AviationOverview of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and other Alternative Fuels used for aviation, and their potential to decarbonise aviation in the EU.Alternative fuelled aircraftsAvailability or development of zero emission airplanes, including VTOL (virtual take-off and landing or “drones”) for passenger taxi-like transportPilot projectsPilot and demonstration projects using alternative fuels in aviation.Electric Ground Support Equipment (eGSE)Developments on airports related to the use of AFs for ground vehicles, focusing on pilots and demonstration projects (e.g., special purpose zero emission vehicles for airport use). Data points and information that will be available at further updates of the EAFO portal’s aviation section: Recharging and refuelling infrastructure, electricity to stationary aircrafts: electricity supply at airport terminals for stationary planes. EU Member States are already have set targets on this in their NPF and report on the progress of this in the NPF IR. The number of terminal hub positions which covered per Member State and other countries in EAFO scope, and as % of the terminal positions at TEN-T core airports. Information will be supplied on additional measures taken by countries for example for airports outside the scope or installations for mobile applications. Statistics for commercial deployment: expanded information on the availability or development of zero emission airplane. Countries will be requested to provide information on the number of AF planes registered, not concerning planes using biofuels and e-fuels.
