EU SAF supply exceeds ReFuelEU’s 2025 target, but 2030 scale-up remains challenging

Bookmark this story

EASA says sustainable aviation fuel supplied across EU airports reached 2.79% in 2025, exceeding ReFuelEU Aviation’s first mandatory target. The agency identifies the 2030 6% mandate, synthetic e-fuels availability, high costs and feedstock dependence as major hurdles, while United and Neste expand supply at Chicago O’Hare and Amsterdam Schiphol.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The 2.79% 2025 result shows the EU’s initial SAF mandate was met, but the 2030 target rises to 6%, increasing pressure on fuel producers, airlines and airports.
  • EASA identifies synthetic e-fuels, high costs and feedstock dependence as the main constraints to scaling supply.
  • United and Neste’s expanded agreement at Chicago O’Hare and Amsterdam Schiphol illustrates how airline-fuel partnerships are extending SAF availability beyond the EU mandate itself.
