EcoCeres Position Paper

EcoCeres Calls for Open EU SAF Market to Support Climate Ambition, Fair Competition and Supply Security

EcoCeres is pleased to announce the release of its new position paper, "Safeguarding Europe’s Climate Goals: Why an Open SAF Market is Essential for Decarbonisation, Fair Competition and Supply Security."

As one of the leading producers of waste based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), EcoCeres highlights the growing risk that trade defence measures targeting imported SAF could increase costs for airlines and passengers, reinforce market concentration and slow the scale up needed to meet ReFuelEU targets and Europe’s wider net zero ambitions. Instead, the paper calls for open and free trade, clear and predictable SAF mandates, and targeted incentives and innovation funding that help close the price gap between SAF and conventional fossil jet fuel while strengthening fair and open competition across multiple SAF pathways.

With this position, EcoCeres reaffirms its commitment to working with airlines, policymakers and industry partners to build an open and transparent SAF market that is affordable, reliable and sustainable – ensuring that trade, fair and open competition and climate policy move in the same direction.
