Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Ms Niamh O'Brien:

I will first cover COM (2021) 561, otherwise known as the ReFuelEU aviation initiative. In terms of the overall proposal, the aim is to increase the uptake of sustainable aviation fuels, SAFs, in aviation. These SAFs are what we call a drop-in fuel, so they can be easily blended with ordinary kerosene and on that basis, it is not foreseen that there will be any kind of infrastructure requirements at the airports.
