Netherlands to Allocate Millions from Flight Tax for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Development
SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL
The Dutch government plans to allocate hundreds of millions of euros from flight tax revenue to boost the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), amid rising passenger numbers and concerns over carbon emissions. With a target of 6% SAF in aircraft fuel by 2030 and 70% by 2050, the initiative aims to make SAF more affordable, despite challenges related to raw material availability and production costs. Industry leaders are urging stronger government support to meet these sustainability goals.
