Considering market dynamics, the FOAK, large-scale e-SAF production plants need to reach FID in the next years to allow for the necessary ramp-up of production capacities in the 2030s and 2040s and to achieve the required scale for 2050. [...] 2030 onwards, EUR 3–5 bn will be required annually to cover the premium of e-SAF, to meet the European To reach the mandated volumes of around 600 ktpa e-SAF mandates (with 90% of the premium from EU of e-SAF in the EU and 60 ktpa in the UK by 2030, demand and 10% from the UK). [...] To fill that gap, the EU Innovation Fund could be leveraged to The most powerful tool for national governments effectively bridge part of the current cost premium to provide complementary support to domestic of e-SAF (vs fossil jet fuel), covering 60% of the NPV production would be the funding of a H2Global- differential to bankability. [...] However, the range of EUR 400-600mn to close the gap to the US is not necessarily describing what public funding is required in the EU, given a different regulatory environment (with ReFuelEU Aviation and SAF Allowances in the EU, and the SAF mandate and the revenue certainty mechanism in the UK).
