Key players in Europe’s aviation industry, including airlines, airports and manufacturers have outlined to EU policymakers seven critical measures to stimulate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in Europe.
In December, USGC Regional Ethanol Manager for the European Union, United Kingdom and Canada Stephanie Larson was in Calgary, Alberta in Canada to meet with leading fuel refiners and blenders to discuss their biofuel integration plans.
New markets, export opportunities and policy changes are all things that will help build demand, said IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw at the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit. The nearest term demand driver should be year-round E15, he added.
Brazil produced a record 36.83 billion liters (9.73 billion gallons) of ethanol in 2024, up 4.4% when compared to the previous year, according to data released by UNICA, the Brazilian sugarcane industry association.
The U.K. Department for Transport has announced it will invest £63 million over the next year under its Advanced Fuels Fund to support SAF producers. The agency also issued a response to its consultation on a revenue certainty mechanism for SAF.
