Recital 13 b (new)
(13b) The EU ETS Directive should contribute to incentivizing the decarbonisation in air transport. The transition from fossil fuels to an increasing percentage of uplifting of sustainable aviation fuels, especially synthetic aviation fuels, would play a role in achieving such decarbonisation. Therefore, a total of 20 million allowances should be reserved and allocated for free until 2030 for the uptake of sustainable aviation fuels, of which [XX%] are reserved for the uptake of synthetic fuels. Those 20 million allowances should be effectively earmarked to incentivize early movers and should come from the pool of total allowances available and should be used only for flights covered by the EU ETS and in a non-discriminatory manner. The Commission should provide proper accounting for the CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, and should rate synthetic aviation fuels as producing zero emissions for the aircraft operators using them.

5a. 20 million of the total quantity of allowances referred to in paragraph 5 for the period from [the date of entry into force of this Directive] until 1st of January 2030 shall be reserved to be allocated for free in respect of aircraft operators that uplift sustainable aviation fuels. XX % of those allowances shall be allocated specifically for the uplifting of synthetic aviation fuels, including hydrogen.

Article 3 c – paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. As from [the date of entry into force of this Directive], the 20 million allowances referred to in paragraph 5a shall be allocated free of charge for the uplifting of sustainable aviation fuels on a non-discriminatory basis. Each aircraft operator may apply for an allocation of the allowances that are to be allocated free of charge for flights covered by the EU ETS until 1st of January 2030 based on the uplifting of the fuels referred to in paragraph 5a from [the date of entry into force of this Directive]. The quantity of allowances shall be proportionate to the total greenhouse gas emissions saved according to the treatment of those fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and the implementing acts referred to in Article 14(1) of this Directive. The Commission shall ensure that CO2 from fossil fuel is properly accounted for under the EU ETS. Where this is the case, synthetic aviation fuels shall be rated with zero emissions for the aircraft operators using them. The Commission shall publish details of the cost difference between kerosene and sustainable aviation fuels on a yearly basis. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive concerning the detailed arrangements for the allocation of aviation allowances for free for uplifting of sustainable aviation fuels by covering the price difference per tonne of CO2 saved from using those fuels instead of kerosene.
