IF25’s selected maritime and aviation bids sought higher premiums

The June IF25 results show three separate auction topics. The unweighted median of requested fixed premiums among nine selected general renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) projects is €0.98/kg; the two selected maritime or aviation bids requested €3.48/kg and €3.49/kg. The mixed RFNBO/low-carbon cohort remains separate.

For a developer choosing an end-use market, the gap marks the support level requested by selected bids in different auction cohorts. The dedicated maritime or aviation topic makes those figures a relevant reference for comparable end uses, rather than a general-topic benchmark to carry across markets. Because only two bids were selected there, the results cannot separate the effects of production costs, buyer terms and competition.

The fixed premium is paid per verified and certified kilogram for up to 10 years. As of its June 19 update, the Commission page lists selected projects as invited to grant-agreement preparation. The support is output-linked: payment accrues against certified kilograms over a time-limited term.

To use these figures in a project scenario, align the reference with the auction topic and end use, then compare the requested premium with the project’s proposed buyer and supply chain. The €3.48-€3.49/kg bids frame the selected maritime or aviation cohort, while €0.98/kg is the general-topic median. These are support requests, not sale prices or production-cost estimates.
