Project SkyPower proudly welcomes Airbus, Europe’s largest aerospace company, as its newest member, helping drive forward its mission to make innovative new fuel e-SAF a commercial reality this decade.
Airbus’s pivotal role in the European aviation industry and its long history of innovation make it a powerful partner for Project SkyPower’s efforts. Christian Scherer joins 14 other CEOs and 40+ members from airlines and airports, e-SAF producers and other supply-side companies, and financial institutions, who are working collaboratively to pave the way for e-SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel produced from electricity generated by renewables) projects to reach Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2025.
In 2025, Project SkyPower is focused on five key priorities: ensuring regulatory certainty, securing public funding commitments, getting long-term offtake agreements in place, de-risking first-of-a-kind projects and unlocking finance. Such measures are essential to meet the e-SAF sub-mandates under ReFuelEU Aviation, starting from 2030.
