ReFuelEU aviation regulation Flashcards
Fuel suppliers will have to incorporate X% SAF in 2025, X% in 2030 and X% in 2050. From 2030, X% of fuels must also be synthetic fuels, rising to X% in 2050.
Fuel suppliers will have to incorporate 2% SAF in 2025, 6% in 2030 and 70% in 2050. From 2030, 1,2% of fuels must also be synthetic fuels, rising to 35% in 2050.
The obligation for aircraft operators to ensure that the yearly quantity of aviation fuel uplifted at a given EU airport is at least X % of the yearly aviation fuel required, to avoid what? practices which would bring additional emissions from extra weight.
The obligation for aircraft operators to ensure that the yearly quantity of aviation fuel uplifted at a given EU airport is at least 90% of the yearly aviation fuel required, to avoid tankering practices which would bring additional emissions from extra weight.
The creation of a Union labelling scheme about what?, which will help consumers make informed choices and will promote greener flights.
The creation of a Union labelling scheme about environmental performance for aircraft operators using SAF, which will help consumers make informed choices and will promote greener flights.

The Regulation will bring a substantial reduction of CO2 emissions of more than 60% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels.
Additionally, the increased uptake of SAF will help reduce what?
Additionally, the increased uptake of SAF will help reduce air pollutants such as CO, NOx and PM increasing air quality especially around airports
EU engagement at international level through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aiming to raise global ambition on SAF use. The recently launched what? project, financed by the EU, will see feasibility studies and capacity building activities implemented in where?, with the aim of bringing the States closer to actual SAF production. SAF is also included as a flagship project under what?
EU engagement at international level through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aiming to raise global ambition on SAF use. The recently launched ACT-SAF project, financed by the EU, will see feasibility studies and capacity building activities implemented in 13 African states and India, with the aim of bringing the States closer to actual SAF production. SAF is also included as a flagship project under the Global Gateway
Direct financial support for the uptake of SAF by narrowing the price gap between SAF and fossil kerosene through X million of SAF allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to aircraft operators.
Direct financial support for the uptake of SAF by narrowing the price gap between SAF and fossil kerosene through 20 million of SAF allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to aircraft operators.
For each reporting period, aviation biofuels other than advanced biofuels and other than biofuels produced from the feedstock listed in Part B of Annex IX to RED II, supplied across Union airports by each aviation fuel supplier, shall account for a maximum of X % of SAF.
For each reporting period, aviation biofuels other than advanced biofuels and other than biofuels produced from the feedstock listed in Part B of Annex IX to RED II, supplied across Union airports by each aviation fuel supplier, shall account for a maximum of 3 % of SAF.
Are biofuels from used cooking oil, animal fats, damaged crops, and wastewater considered advanced biofuels?
No
‘Union airport’ means an ‘airport’ where passenger traffic was higher than how many? passengers or where the freight traffic was higher than how many? tonnes in the previous reporting period, and which is not situated where?
‘Union airport’ means an ‘airport’ where passenger traffic was higher than 800 000 passengers or where the freight traffic was higher than 100 000 tonnes in the previous reporting period, and which is not situated in an outermost region.
What crops, where used for the production of biofuel for the aviation sector, are considered as advanced biofuels?
Intermediate crops, and crops grown on severely degraded land, except food and feed crops.
Can biofuels from food and feed crops be considered aviation biofuels?
No
