KLM has urged the Dutch government to create a national SAF production fund to scale domestic sustainable aviation fuel supply, cut emissions and protect the Netherlands’ global air connectivity. The carrier says state-backed support is needed to accelerate projects and guarantee long‑term offtake.

Briefing
Europe’s SAF supply still lags demand: EASA found SAF accounted for just 0.6% of fuel uplift at EU airports, and broader production growth remains well below airline needs — a national fund targets domestic scale‑up and offtake to close that gap (https://hype.aero/?story=a003c5e2-2dc5-4c5e-81cc-59ed18a3d7aa, https://hype.aero/?story=c6033692-9f5d-4a14-ab54-f51a3357d713)
State-backed procurement and pooled industry funds are emerging levers to guarantee demand and attract investment: Singapore will set up a state vehicle to centrally procure SAF, while airline consortia and investors (including a $150m oneworld-led fund) are mobilising capital for SAF projects (https://hype.aero/?story=2e36d25b-570a-46eb-8199-3ccaa00a968f, https://hype.aero/?story=d4cd006d-4813-4f96-b911-1276b2ddbfba)
