The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has published the “2025 Aviation Fuels Reference Prices for ReFuelEU Aviation” briefing note, which provides key reference prices for SAF and other relevant aviation fuels for the European Union (EU).

The briefing note features the 2025 reference prices for the aviation fuels eligible under the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation as well as conventional aviation fuels (CAF). These reference prices are intended to serve as reference for EU Member States in their determination of penalties under the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation as well as for the support mechanism for the use of SAF under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Directive (EU ETS).

The briefing note serves as a pre-publication of the aviation fuels reference prices that will be included in the first EASA technical report, which is due for publication in September 2026 and will provide a comprehensive assessment of the status of compliance of the parties obligated under the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation as well as on the state and development of the SAF market in the EU and its Member States.
