Strategic analysis of maritime fuels for the EU Homegrown renewable hydrogen-based fuels can decarbonise the shipping sector, reinforce Europe’s energy sovereignty and provide thousands of new jobs. When deciding which fuels to back, the EU should focus on three criteria: Sustainable — ensure real emissions reductions across the entire lifecycle, ... [continued]

Companies from across the aviation and energy value chains are calling on European national governments to commit funding for an e-SAF pilot auction via a double-sided auction mechanism to kickstart the e-SAF industry in Europe. With a potential to cut CO₂ emissions by more than 90 per cent compared to ... [continued]

Lack of innovation is putting aviation’s decarbonisation targets at risk, new modelling suggests. Summary: The state of play in aircraft innovation Decarbonising aviation requires a sector-wide approach — from measures to address the industry’s continuing growth, to ensuring that truly sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are prioritised. Aircraft technology also has a key ...

As the aviation sector gathers at the International Paris Air Show, a new T&E study highlights Europe’s potential to be an e-kerosene trailblazer – the most scalable sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) – but severe bottlenecks mean it could lose its first mover advantage. Europe a leader on e-kerosene announcements, laggard ... [continued]

As the aviation industry prepares for the Paris Air Show, where manufacturers will showcase their latest fossil-fuel-powered aircraft, new T&E analysis suggests that reliance on conventional technology is putting the sector’s decarbonisation targets at risk. If manufacturers stepped up, innovations in aircraft technology could save the equivalent of the annual ... [continued]

The EU’s Sustainable Transport Investment Plan is an opportunity to unlock the full potential of e-SAF — the greenest and most scalable sustainable aviation fuel. In doing so, it could also boost the EU’s industrial competitiveness, energy independence, and jobs. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) play a crucial role in decarbonising aviation. ... [continued]

After crying wolf on the 2025 EU target despite EV sales growing in Germany, the industry now wants to roll back the 2035 standard. Cars in Europe could emit an extra 0.5 to 1.4 Gt of CO2 of avoidable carbon pollution — an increase of up to 31% compared to ... [continued]
