e-SAF

Stakeholders are calling on the European Union to prevent e-HEFA — hydrotreated ester and fatty acid fuel made using renewable electricity — from counting toward the bloc's e-SAF (synthetic sustainable aviation fuel) blending mandate. They argue the fuel does not deliver the same climate benefits as true e-fuels, and its inclusion could dilute the mandate's purpose, according to trade publications covering the appeal.

The European Commission has put forward the EU KIDS Act, a package of measures aimed at helping children navigate the online world more safely. The proposal covers privacy protections and online safety rules for young users, and is drawing attention from digital rights and child safety communities as debate grows over how platforms should treat minors.
