EAEG Sustainable Aviation Fuels Task Group prepares draft paper on SAF promotion policy

10 March 2022 — The ECAC/EU Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Task Group held its third meeting in March. The group was launched in December 2021 and comprises 25 experts appointed by 12 ECAC Member States and five European organisations. It aims to assemble best practices for promoting SAF, and to develop guidance material for ECAC Member States.

The first draft of a guidance document on best practices for SAF policies to be developed by the task group was also reviewed and participants had fruitful discussions on the main elements to include in the text. The group agreed to submit to the European Aviation and Environment Working Group (Expanded) for consultation a draft proposal for an ICAO Assembly information paper on the European sustainable aviation fuels promotion policy landscape and initiatives.
