SAF-Roadmap (Sustainable Aviation Fuels)
With the Aviation Strategy 2040+, the BMK has identified the need for action in the areas of sustainability, environmental and climate protection and defined specific measures. The SAF roadmap is one of these measures and complements the existing aviation strategy.
The aim of the roadmap is to create suitable framework conditions in and for Austria for the introduction and market ramp-up of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). This requires a combination of various measures, such as support for production and import activities, the expansion of strategic partnerships at European and international level, as well as cooperation with the aviation industry.
As alternative propulsion systems such as battery-electric aircraft are an option for air traffic in the longer term in the best case scenario, sustainable fuels and e-fuels must be prioritized in air transport.
