Details

The session aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of sustainable alternative fuels (SAF) for waterborne and aviation transport, with a focus on the technology, infrastructure and policy aspects. Waterborne and aviation are the hardest to decarbonize transport modes, heavily relying on SAF to achieve the goals of green transition and, at the same time, facing the limited availability and high cost of these fuels. The focus on both transport modes aims to address the shared and individual challenges and solutions of both sectors, focusing on the new technologies on the European and global horizon. The speakers will include representatives from fuel suppliers, end-users, civil society and the European Commission, as well as possibly from the infrastructure sector. The session will cover a range of SAF technologies, such as hydrogen, from a technologically neutral perspective, and will address the policy developments of FuelEU Maritime, ReFuelEU Aviation, EU ETS, RED and AFIR. The session will also consider the long-term vision of 2050, as well as the mid-term targets of for both sectors.
