Ich zitiere mal daraus:
The new rules will require:
1) Aviation fuel suppliers to supply a minimum share of SAF at EU airports, starting at 2% of overall fuel supplied by 2025 and reaching 70% by 2050. The new EU jet fuel blend will need to also contain a minimum share of the most modern and environmentally-friendly synthetic fuels, which increases over time;
2) Aircraft operators departing from EU airports to refuel only with the fuel necessary for the flight, to avoid emissions related to extra weight or carbon leakage caused by ‘tankering' practices (deliberately carrying excess fuel to avoid refuelling with SAF);
3) Airports to ensure that their fuelling infrastructure is available and fit for SAF distribution.
The blending mandate covers biofuels , recycled carbon fuels and synthetic aviation fuels (e-fuels) in line with the Renewable Energy Directive, but excludes food and feed crops, supporting sustainability objectives. Since it will apply throughout the EU, the new mandate will ensure a level playing field within the EU internal market, provide legal certainty to fuel producers and help kick-start large-scale production across the continent. It will also increase the EU's energy security by reducing dependencies on third-country sourced energy products and create thousands of new jobs in the energy sector. The EU's airlines will have access to increasing amounts of sustainable aviation fuel throughout the EU.
Die daraus resultierende Frage ist natürlich, was bedeutet das für AVGAS - da kann man natürlich kein SAF reinkippen. Der Gesetzestext existiert noch nicht, aber im schlimmsten Fall könnte das bedeuten dass man an Flughäfen kein Avgas mehr bekommt. Die AOPA sollte das auf dem Schirm haben. Mittelfristig ist es natürlich wünschenswert, wenn sowas wie GAMI 100 UL auch synthethisch hergestellt werden könnte.
