The European Commission has approved two Dutch state aid schemes totaling €290 million to support sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The initiatives aim to accelerate SAF production and align with the Clean Industrial Deal and ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation. One scheme provides investment aid for SAF production, while the other covers preparatory costs for SAF projects. The funding will support projects expected to produce 285 kilotonnes of SAF annually, equivalent to 3.5 billion liters of kerosene. Aid will be awarded on a first-come basis through transparent, non-discriminatory processes. The schemes target non-HEFA advanced bio-SAF and synthetic e-SAF, requiring beneficiaries to meet EU sustainability criteria. The Commission deemed the measures necessary to incentivize SAF development, ensuring proportionality and minimal competition impact. Funding will run from 2027 to 2031, with up to five funding rounds.
