據烴加工網5月16日報道，根據歐盟立法機構所公布的法規最終版本顯示，歐盟國家將最終確定航空公司增加可持續燃料（SAF）使用的目標，作為遏制航空業二氧化碳排放的第一步。

可持續航空燃料（SAF）目標是歐盟試圖在零碳排放飛機等突破性技術之前減少飛行排放，而這些技術預計至少在十年后才會實現。

歐盟成員國將于周三審查最終法律，該法律確認了上個月與歐洲議會達成的一項政治協議。

根據規定，燃料供應商必須確保2025年歐盟機場提供的燃料中有2%是可持續航空燃料，2030年上升到6%，2035年上升到20%，2050年逐漸上升到70%。

從2030年起，1.2%的燃料也必須是合成燃料，到2050年將上升到35%。

該提案旨在增加對SAF的需求和供應，SAF的二氧化碳凈零排放或二氧化碳排放量低于化石燃料航煤。這種燃料尚未大規模生產，而且比傳統燃料貴得多。

航空公司對歐盟的計劃反響不一。

法航及荷航表示，其自愿實現的SAF目標比歐盟法律更具雄心。

漢莎航空表示，這項法律可能會扭曲國際競爭，因為SAF的目標將適用于從歐洲樞紐起飛的航空公司，而不適用于從歐盟以外起飛的長途航空公司。

歐洲航空公司(Airlines for Europe)行業組織代理董事總經理勞倫特·唐塞爾(Laurent Donceel)表示，政策制定者應為建立歐洲SAF行業提供更多支持，以實現目標。歐盟需要像看待風力渦輪機、太陽能電池板和其他可持續技術那樣看待SAF。

歐盟國家和歐洲議會尚未正式批準該文本，但在立法程序的現階段，他們的批準通常只是一種形式。

EU countries set to finalize first green aviation fuel goals

European Union countries are set to finalize targets for airlines to increase their use of sustainable fuels as an initial step towards curbing CO2 emissions from aviation, a final version of the law showed.

The sustainable aviation fuel targets are the EU's attempt to cut flight emissions pending breakthrough technologies such as zero-emission aircraft, which are not expected for at least a decade.

The final law, which diplomats from EU countries will review on Wednesday, confirms a political deal reached with the European Parliament last month.

Under the rules, fuel suppliers must ensure that 2% of fuel made available at EU airports is sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in 2025, rising to 6% in 2030, 20% in 2035 and gradually to 70% in 2050.

From 2030, 1.2% of fuels must also be synthetic fuels, rising to 35% in 2050.

The proposal aims to increase both demand for and supply of SAF, which has net-zero CO2 emissions or lower CO2 emissions than fossil fuel kerosene. Such fuel is not yet produced at scale and is far more expensive than conventional fuels.

Airlines have given the EU plan a mixed reception.

Air France-KLM has said its voluntary SAF targets are more ambitious than the EU law.

Lufthansa has said the law could distort competition internationally as the SAF targets would apply to airlines flying from European hubs but not to long-haul carriers flying from outside the European Union.

Laurent Donceel, Acting Managing Director of industry group Airlines for Europe, said policymakers should match the targets with more support to build up a European SAF industry.

"The EU needs to think about SAF the way it thinks about wind turbines, solar panels and other sustainable technologies," he said.

EU countries and the European Parliament have yet to officially endorse the text, but at this stage of the legislative process their approval is usually a formality.
