COLOGNE, September 17, 2026 — The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) today published the 2026 ReFuelEU Aviation Annual Technical Report, showing that the supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in the European Union (EU) exceeded the first mandatory ReFuelEU Aviation target in 2025.
Aviation fuel suppliers reported supplying 39.3 million tonnes of aviation fuel at Union airports in 2025, of which 1.1 million tonnes – or 2.8% – was SAF. This exceeded the mandatory minimum SAF share of 2% that became applicable in 2025.
“We are pleased to confirm that the SAF mandate under ReFuelEU Aviation was not only met but exceeded,” said Florian Guillermet, EASA Executive Director.
“Through our monitoring work, EASA is building a strong evidence base to track this progress, understand how the European SAF market is developing and identify where further action may be needed to support the next stages of the transition." (....)
