Singapore to introduce world's first SAF departure levy of up to S$41.60 per passenger from April 2026 Singapore will charge departing passengers up to S$41.60 from April 2026 via the world's first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) levy, applied to all outbound flights. The fee — set lower than earlier forecasts — is intended to create a dedicated revenue stream to subsidize SAF procurement and cut aviation emissions.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production Is Growing — But Still Far Short of Demand Global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production is increasing as new projects move toward operation, but current output remains significantly below airline demand and regulatory targets, leaving a large supply gap that will restrict SAF uptake, keep prices high and slow industry decarbonization unless scale-up accelerates.

EU mandates 2% SAF uplift for flights departing bloc airports The EU will require aircraft departing from its airports to use a minimum 2% blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marking a binding uplift mandate designed to create guaranteed demand. The rule formalises a policy lever intended to accelerate SAF procurement and reshape airport fuelling and offtake arrangements.

Carbon Tracker says SAF won’t deliver near‑term cuts — urges shift to electric propulsion for short‑haul Thinktank Carbon Tracker warns sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will play a minimal role in near‑term decarbonisation and won’t deliver meaningful emissions reductions. It urges policymakers and industry to prioritise investment in electric and hybrid‑electric propulsion for short‑haul flights as a faster route to cutting CO2.
