Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West

I share the Deputy's ambition on this and on taking the correct steps on climate action. It is clear that the scaling up of the use of SAF will be crucial in facilitating decarbonisation in the aviation sector. With regard to the next steps, the ReFuelEU aviation proposal will be a key measure in achieving this. We can continue to work with our colleagues in Europe to achieve agreement on this important file which will help us develop an overall national SAF policy. My Department has also allocated €200,000 in this year's climate action research budget for research and innovation concerning SAF. My officials will continue to liaise with international colleagues and review approaches being taken by other states as we develop an overarching policy in this area.
