xCruzo Brief
The European Commission has approved two Dutch state-aid schemes totaling €290 million to support sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), under EU rules. The funding is designed to accelerate decarbonisation goals tied to the Clean Industrial Deal and the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, boosting both SAF supply and demand. One scheme offers investment aid for SAF production, while the other covers costs of preparatory work, including front-end engineering design studies. The programmes are expected to back projects producing about 285 kilotonnes of SAF per year (around 350 million litres of kerosene), supporting two technology pathways: non-HEFA advanced bio-SAF and synthetic e-SAF. Aid will run from 2027 to 2031.
