The European Parliament and the Council of Ministers have reached an agreement on greener aviation fuel. Negotiators agreed that at least two percent of aviation fuel must be fossil-free and sustainable by 2025 and 70 percent by 2050.
An EU label for the climate impact of aviation will be introduced from 2025. This will help travelers compare the climate footprint of different airlines on a flight route. According to the agreement, fuels made from feed or food crops or from palm or soy products will not be classified as green because they are not considered sustainable.
