New rules on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and penalties for non-compliance

This act implements EU ReFuelEU Aviation regulations in Poland, requiring airlines and fuel suppliers to gradually increase the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). For citizens, this means flying may become more environmentally friendly but also potentially more expensive, as the costs of new fuels could be passed on to passengers. The law also establishes a system of financial penalties for non-compliance, with proceeds going to an environmental fund.
Key points
Mandatory use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) by airlines and fuel suppliers at Polish airports is introduced.
High financial penalties for non-compliance – e.g., twice the price difference between SAF and conventional fuel.
Revenue from SAF-related penalties will go to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, not the state budget.
The President of the Civil Aviation Authority and the President of the Energy Regulatory Office gain new supervisory and control powers.
New rules for fuel licenses – applicants must provide information about their intention to sell SAF at airports.
