PtX Lab Lausitz is organising a panel discussion on sustainable fuels at EUSEW 2026
How can climate protection, competitiveness and security of supply be advanced together in Europe? The PtX Lab Lausitz will address this question on 10 June 2026 during an interactive panel discussion entitled ‘Sustainable Aviation Fuels As a Stress Test for EU Decarbonisation Policy’.
The focus will be on eSAF (electricity-based sustainable aviation fuel) as a key technology for climate-neutral aviation. Aviation in particular is considered one of Europe’s most economically significant sectors, yet one of the most difficult to decarbonise. The event will therefore examine the political and regulatory framework required to enable the ramp-up of sustainable aviation fuels whilst simultaneously strengthening Europe’s industrial competitiveness and resilience.

eSAF is not only an aviation fuel question. It is a stress test of whether EU climate policy can convert binding targets into bankable demand, investable projects and European industrial capacity.
In addition to current developments at EU level, the discussion examines key initiatives such as the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP). It also provides an outlook on upcoming regulatory processes in 2026 – including the review of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the debate on a possible extension to international flights.

The panel discussion brings together representatives from EU institutions, industry and civil society, and invites participants to get actively involved – for example, through surveys or by raising their hands to speak. The event is being organised in collaboration with Transport & Environment (T&E) as part of European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2026 and will take place as a hybrid event at the NH Berlaymont Hotel and online.
