Introduction to ReFuelEU Aviation Compliance
ReFuelEU Aviation, a key regulation under the EU’s Fit for 55 climate framework, aims to accelerate the uptake of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). For the 2025 reporting cycle, a new list identifies aviation fuel suppliers falling within the regulation’s scope, bringing greater clarity to compliance expectations.
Geographic and Corporate Scope
The list features a diverse set of suppliers from across the EU and associated countries. Germany, France, and Italy top the chart in terms of supplier count, with companies such as BP, Shell, TotalEnergies, and Kuwait Petroleum listed across multiple jurisdictions. This cross-border presence underscores the integrated nature of the European aviation fuel supply chain.
Compliance Expectations
Being listed signifies a direct obligation to report on SAF volumes and comply with minimum SAF blending requirements. Notably, the list serves an informational purpose, and any omission does not imply exemption. Each supplier remains responsible for verifying their obligations under the regulation.
Sectoral Significance
The scope of this list reflects the widening regulatory net across the aviation fuel landscape. Fuel suppliers now join airlines and airports in a shared accountability for achieving sector-wide decarbonization goals under the ReFuelEU framework.
Conclusion
This publication is more than a registry—it’s a signal of increased scrutiny and structured enforcement. For fuel suppliers, 2025 is not just a reporting year; it’s a litmus test of readiness and commitment to sustainability. As regulations tighten, proactive compliance and transparent operations will distinguish industry leaders from laggards.
