The SAS Aviation Insights report indicates that Europe is facing a significant shortfall in sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) as the 2030 mandate approaches. Demand for e-SAF is projected to reach 36,000 tons by 2030 in Scandinavian aviation, escalating to over 330,000 tons by 2040.
Currently, no European production facilities have achieved Final Investment Decision (FID), risking a structural shortage. Prices for e-SAF are expected to rise significantly, impacting operational costs for airlines and overall connectivity in Europe. Urgent actions are necessary to avoid a long-term imbalance in sustainable fuel production that could leave the sector vulnerable to market shocks.
