Freedom and mobility are of paramount importance to our open societies – preserving these achievements well into the future requires a fast transition to Net Zero Aviation. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are a key instrument to solve this challenge. However, there is a significant gap between demand and production capacity. Market analysis reveals substantial financial barriers that hinder project financing, thereby limiting the availability of SAF. Additionally, compared to kerosene, SAF prices are two to five times higher, which discourages airlines from paying a premium, while striving to maintain affordable prices for travellers. To address these and other challenges, EY, in collaboration with Fraunhofer, has conducted a comprehensive global study covering the entire SAF value chain. This study proposes solutions, particularly for Europe, to bridge the gap and support the initiation of SAF projects, enabling them to offer economically attractive prices to offtakers. In this webinar, Daniel Eisenhuth and Dr. Viktoriia Betina from EY, together with Dr. Axel Kraft from Fraunhofer, will discuss the EU requirements for SAF from technological, policy, and offtaking perspectives. They will share the projected production gap, and the hurdles identified through interviews with global airlines, investors, banks, and production companies. Finally, they will introduce their strategic instrument designed to assist Europe in adopting SAF and fostering the market for it.
