EU lawmakers and member state governments have reached agreement on boosting “green” aviation fuels at airports to cut carbon emissions, officials said Wednesday.
The preliminary deal would see a minimum two percent of sustainable aviation fuel — synthetic, biofuel, or recycled from waste gases and plastic — mixed into currently used kerosene starting from 2025, rising gradually to 70 percent by 2050.
The agreement is part of the European Union’s transition to a net carbon-neutral future, and follows a sweeping reform of the bloc’s carbon market that is expanded to include sea and air transport.
