The SAF mandate
The demand that ReFuelEU Aviation creates. See the blending trajectory to 2050, turn a jet-fuel demand into the SAF and e-SAF volumes the law requires, and place the eKeroBel plant against the synthetic requirement and the penalty that backs it.
Jet-fuel demand
The fuel supplied at the airports in scope. All required volumes scale from this.

eKeroBel plant output
Annual e-SAF output, to compare against the synthetic requirement.

Blending trajectory to 2050
Share of aviation fuel · Selected year: 2030
Highlights
By 2030 the synthetic sub-mandate reaches 1.2%, about 1,800 t of e-SAF per year for this demand, roughly 4.1 plants the size of eKeroBel.
- · eKeroBel's 440 t/yr would cover about 24% of the e-SAF this demand needs in 2030.
- · The synthetic share is small in the early years but supply is scarce, so e-SAF carries a large premium, about 13 times jet fuel today.
Indicative estimates for screening and explanation. The legal text and the official EASA reference prices prevail; national rules may set higher shares or penalties.
