The Cost of Compliance with ReFuelEU
October 27, 2025 at 15:00 CET
Bringing together perspectives from policy, airline off-takers, consultancy, and research, this session provides a comprehensive look at the economics of SAF and the factors shaping airline appetite and investment decisions. The expert round moderated by Andrew Doyle (Cirium) features Dana Shoukroun (Invest Through Flying), Gregoire Le Comte (European Commission DG MOVE), Dorottya Durucsko (Wizz Air), and Nikhil Sachdeva (Roland Berger).
The conversation examines the perception that “SAF is too expensive,” exploring key cost elements and how this affects bankability, investability, and airline procurement. Participants discuss SAF premiums, their transparency and negotiability, and the role of market mechanisms—such as long-term offtakes, pooling, and subsidies—in reducing costs. The session also covers how EU SAF allowances can support offtakers, including eligibility, allocation, and payout, and how greater pricing transparency might improve financing and long-term contracting.
