6. Incentives and Regulations for SAF
Europe
Renewable Energy Directive (RED): 10% renewable transport fuel in 2020
RED II draft provides specific incentives for advanced biofuels for aviation
Biofuel meeting RED is exempted from EU ETS
So far only the Netherlands recognize SAF as eligible
New opportunities with RED II
USA
Quite effective combination of production and use incentives
Largest deployment projects are in US
Off-take agreements at competitive prices
International (ICAO)
Global market-based mechanism (CORSIA) planned to recognize emissions reduction from SAF use  reduces operators’ obligations
Harmonized sustainability framework under development

7. How to proceed? Biomass is established feedstock.
It is the only feedstock available at larger volumes in near future.
Non biological feedstock are a new option but face many challenges.
However, they may be an long-term alternative.
Technical development in sector is extremely fast.
Challenge is to:
establish bio kerosene now as an alternative to fossil fuel, to start saving CO2
while retaining the flexibility to switch to non biological feedstocks later on.
Regulatory boundary conditions need to be globally harmonized.
The use needs to be incentivized and stimulated
