IFM Investors threatens to walk away from A$3 billion Australia SAF project unless airlines are mandated to use the fuel IFM Investors warned it could scrap a planned A$3 billion sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) investment in Australia unless the government mandates airline uptake. The ultimatum spotlights how SAF supply-developer economics remain highly dependent on binding demand signals, not only production funding.

SAS flags EU ReFuelEU risk: e‑SAF structural shortfall from 2030 could trigger a new aviation fuel crunch Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) says the EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation rules could create a structural shortage of electro-sustainable aviation fuel (e‑SAF) from 2030 onward, as mandated demand outpaces supply. The carrier frames this as a potential “energy crisis”-type constraint for airlines preparing decarbonization compliance.

European business aviation weakened by discriminatory taxes and SAF mandates European governments’ approach—combining discriminatory tax treatment and sustainable aviation fuel mandates—has left business aviation with sluggish growth momentum. The cluster underscores how climate policy can flow through as added cost and compliance pressure, hitting the segment’s economics before demand rebounds.
