UK mandates 10% SAF use by 2030 To accelerate the decarbonization of its aviation sector, the UK government has unveiled a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate for the aviation industry. By 2030, airlines departing from the UK will be required to use a minimum of 10% SAF in their jet fuel, increasing to 22% by 2040. The UK’s SAF mandate, to be implemented from January 2025, will be one of the first in the world to be put into law. The nation is aiming to supply about 1.2 million tonnes of SAF to the UK airline industry each year. The SAF industry is poised to boost the economy by adding over £1.8 billion and creation of over 10,000 jobs across the country.  SAF can lower carbon emission by 70% in comparison to the traditional flights powered by fossil fuels. The govt is already supporting 13SAF projects by providing £135 million funding allocated through the Advanced Fuels Fund. SAF is a key part of the decarbonization of air travel and a domestic SAF industry will create jobs, wealth and help the UK secure its energy independence. #decarbonization, #SAF, #sustainability, #carbon emission, #UK, #aviation

The UK's Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate took off on 1 January 2025. ✈️    This law requires at least 2% SAF in the UK’s aviation fuel mix this year—a vital step towards decarbonising aviation.    It paves the way for investment in domestic SAF production, showcasing the UK's commitment to greener air travel.    However, there’s more to do. Rapid adoption of the SAF Revenue Support Mechanism and faster implementation timelines are essential.    A strong UK SAF industry could create over 10,000 jobs in regions like Teesside and South Wales, adding £1.8bn to the economy by 2030.    Find out how the RISE campaign is advancing British SAF: https://lnkd.in/g9w8PsCz  

Last week the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom made a critical announcement on how the Government will help scale up a domestic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market in the UK. Plans include a much-called-for UK SAF mandate, which will come into force in 2025 and will legislate for 10% SAF usage by 2030, and a consultation on options for a SAF revenue certainty mechanism. With low production volumes and the high cost of SAF as a barrier to its use and scale-up domestically, we are pleased to see measures that help produce SAF at scale in the UK. Now, we urge the Government to deliver the revenue mechanism scheme at pace so a SAF industry in the UK can take off. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/euM79iHe #SAF #Sustainability #Heathrow

Air New Zealand on Dec. 18 announced its largest purchase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to date, securing more than 30 million liters from Neste to be uplifted from Los Angeles and San Francisco through to February 2026. #SAF https://lnkd.in/gSA_rb_D

This week, the House of Lords approved the Government’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate legislation, following approval in the House of Commons in September.   The mandate will require 10% of all UK aviation fuel in 2030 to be SAF and is essential to signal demand for SAF in the UK and scale up domestic production. It is a critical milestone for the future of aviation and demonstrates the sector’s commitment to delivering net zero. Heathrow is also targeting 11% SAF usage at the airport by 2030, as part of our world-leading SAF incentive scheme.   With thanks to Peers and Parliamentarians from all parties for passing the mandate, and for the hard work of Government officials on this critical legislation. Attention now turns to maintaining critical pace on the SAF revenue certainty mechanism to help de-risk investment.   Find out more about the ways Heathrow are using SAF here: https://lnkd.in/eiYeBStN

Government Sets Ambitious Goal: Aiming for 10% of Jet Fuel to be Sustainable by 2030 The government has announced a forthcoming Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate, scheduled to take effect next year. This mandate will require all flights departing from the UK to utilize at least 10 percent sustainable-certified fuel by 2030. Once approved by parliament, this mandate is expected to boost the production capacity of SAF in the UK significantly. https://lnkd.in/e4C8c5A5 #Policy #Legislation #Transport #Aviation #sustainableaviationfuel #MarkHarper #Biofuel #AirportOperatorsAssociation #TimAlderslade #KarenDee #JetZeroStrategy

Major UK airports are leading the charge for increased production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through the "Back British SAF" campaign. Airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and Stansted are urging the government to pass the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (Revenue Support Mechanism) Bill, which would help jumpstart domestic SAF production. With the potential to inject £1.8 billion into the UK economy and create 60,000 jobs by 2050, SAF is key to the aviation sector's environmental and economic future. https://lnkd.in/eFZtQGJM At NXTClean Fuels, we’re proud to contribute to the transition towards sustainable aviation fuel. #SustainableFuel #SAF #Aviation #CleanEnergy #NetZero #NXTCleanFuels
