Aviation Sustainability: Insights from Ishka SAVi Team
Key Ideas
- Leaked Clean Industrial Deal draft hints at EU support for decarbonizing aviation through hydrogen mechanisms and sustainable transport investment plans.
- EU Commissioner Tzitzikostas indicates upcoming measures to scale-up e-SAF in the Clean Industrial Deal, supporting low-carbon energy prices and bridging investment gaps.
- French MEP Kalfon proposes compulsory investments by oil companies in alternative fuels and e-kerosene, along with increased financial support for e-SAF projects.
- Project SkyPower presents e-SAF demands through a letter backed by 75 European organizations, urging the European Commission to implement key policy interventions for e-SAF scale-up.
The Ishka SAVi team has curated five noteworthy aviation sustainability developments from the past seven days. An early draft of the Clean Industrial Deal (CID) in the EU suggests upcoming support for decarbonizing aviation. The draft highlights the launch of the Hydrogen Mechanism and the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan, aiming to prioritize renewable and low-carbon fuels for aviation by 2025. Additionally, measures are proposed to de-risk SAF and renewable hydrogen projects by specific timelines, such as the adoption of the Low Carbon Hydrogen Delegated Act in Q1 2025. Furthermore, the leaked draft outlines various initiatives to address industrial decarbonization bottlenecks and facilitate clean energy investments in aviation.
EU Commissioner Tzitzikostas provides clues on scaling up e-SAF within the Clean Industrial Deal, emphasizing the importance of low and stable energy prices. Tzitzikostas also discusses bridging investment gaps through public and private collaborations, including mechanisms under the EU ETS-funded Innovation Fund and the European Investment Bank. French MEP Kalfon suggests compulsory investments by oil companies in alternative fuels and e-kerosene, along with increased financial support for e-SAF projects. These proposals align with the demands put forward by Project SkyPower, supported by 75 European organizations, urging the European Commission to implement key policy interventions for the scale-up of e-SAF in the aviation sector.
