In the spring of 2023, two new EU regulations, FuelEU Maritime and ReFuelEU Aviation, were adopted, aiming to steer the maritime and aviation sectors towards the EU’s climate targets for 2030 and 2050. These regulations are an important part of the EU’s transition plan “Fit for 55” and aim to reduce the climate impact of shipping and aviation.
The regulations (European Parliament and Council 2023a, European Parliament and Council 2023b) aim to increase the demand for and use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime and aviation, while ensuring that these sectors operate efficiently without distortions in the internal market. Fuel producers should be confident in a future high demand for large-scale production of sustainable fuels for shipping and aviation. The new rules for maritime transport will apply from January 1, 2025, with the exception of two articles [1] that take effect on August 31, 2024. For aviation, the new rules came into force on January 1, 2024, with the exception of five articles [2] that will be applied starting January 1, 2025.
