The European Commission has released the latest Template for Aviation Fuel Suppliers’ Reporting on SAF Sustainability Characteristics and Aviation Fuel Supplied by Article 10 of ReFuelEU Aviation. This template is a crucial tool for suppliers to ensure compliance with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) regulations and maintain transparency in fuel reporting.
Key Features of the Updated Template
- Enhanced Data Reporting Structure
- The template standardizes SAF sustainability characteristics reporting, ensuring accurate tracking of feedstocks, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission savings, and blending ratios.
- Suppliers must provide details on the origin, quantity, and compliance status of SAF delivered.
- Regulatory Compliance Alignment
- The format aligns with EU sustainability criteria to ensure suppliers meet the mandated SAF blending targets.
- Reporting covers both eligible SAF and conventional aviation fuel, supporting comprehensive emissions tracking.
- Streamlined Submission Process
- The template facilitates seamless integration with the Union Database (UDB), reducing administrative burdens for fuel suppliers.
- Digital submission ensures timely and accurate compliance monitoring.
Importance for the Industry
This update reinforces the EU’s commitment to decarbonizing aviation by increasing SAF adoption. Fuel suppliers are encouraged to adopt the template and verify their reporting obligations to support a more transparent and sustainable aviation fuel market.
