Mr. Declan Fitzpatrick:

Sustainable aviation fuel can come from a number of sources. Biomass is one. That could be a specific crop grown, harvested and processed into an aviation fuel. What the sources of this are is a big concern globally. In the long run and in order to hit the mandates for 2050, we are looking more at synthetic fuel development. This would be things like power to hydrogen, which is wind generating hydrogen and hydrogen being processed with carbon to make the fuel we need for aviation. That is further down the road. At present, the focus globally is on biomass and that sort of process. It would be very interesting for the committee to meet with Trinity College Dublin at some stage, because it is assigned as the clearing house for sustainable aviation fuels in Europe. It has a very specific role there, and it would be worth meeting with those involved. They will explain it a lot better than I ever could.

I will hand over to Dr. Corcoran to explain our role in the ReFuelEU mandate. We have a couple of specific tasks there.
