In Apr-2024 the UK government published its long-awaited mandate on the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The mandate, which still requires parliamentary approval, follows extensive consultation with the aviation industry in 2022 and 2023. It sets targets for the overall share of jet fuel to be supplied as SAF and separate targets for SAF produced as power to liquid, while also capping fuel from hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids. The mandate is binding on suppliers of aviation fuel into the UK market.
UK government sets targets for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to make up 2% of aviation fuel by 2025, rising to 22% by 2040, with a cap on fuel from hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids.
