Accelerating take-off for e-SAF in Europe

Our vision
E-SAF becomes a commercial reality this decade, unlocking a transition to a global net-zero aviation industry by 2050
Sustainable aviation fuel synthetically made from captured CO2 and hydrogen (known as "e-SAF") is a low-carbon drop-in fuel which is crucial to reduce emissions from long-haul aviation by 2050. It could produce 90% lower emissions over its lifecycle (from production to consumption) than fossil jet fuel, with fewer feedstock constraints and lower environmental risks than other SAF types. With 70% of planned e-SAF production capacity in Europe, the region is well positioned to lead the way.
Our mission
To pave the way for large-scale e-SAF plants to reach Final Investment Decision in time for production to start in 2030
To date, no large-scale e-SAF plant has reached FID, held back by large investment requirements and a lack of revenue certainty. Project SkyPower focuses on a critical window of opportunity – to meet industry emissions reduction targets by 2050, we must get the first projects to be operational by 2030 and scale the transformative technology behind e-SAF to reach market tipping points in the 2030s. Working together, our members will find solutions to reduce the green premium, share the costs and de-risk first projects.
Our plan
Courageous and collaborative leadership from CEOs to break down barriers
In 2024, Project SkyPower brought together leaders from the entire e-SAF ecosystem to create transparency and alignment on the solutions needed to create a functioning e-SAF market. This led over 40 organizations to unite behind a 10-point action plan to unlock FIDs for the first large-scale e-SAF plants.
Since then, we have been engaging boldly with key decision-makers to implement these solutions, delivering major real-world impact across policy, finance and offtake.
With no European e-SAF project having reached FID at the end of 2025, our mission remains as critical as ever and we are continuing to drive forward the necessary solutions with our members.
We face a critical window of opportunity: Meeting aviation's 2050 emissions targets needs the first e-SAF projects up and running by 2030, so this innovative technology can reach market tipping points in the following decade and achieve scale by 2050.
