UK Government commits to boost SAF production
In the UK, Travel Weekly reported that the UK Department for Transport (DfT) has promised a call for evidence on aviation sustainability and a second consultation on sustainable aviation fuels. “We’ll publish a second consultation on our SAF mandate [and] we’ll be publishing a call for evidence shortly,” DfT aviation director David Silk said during the Airport Operators Association (AOA) conference in London. “We’re committed to having five SAF plants by 2025 with a target of 10% SAF use by 2030, [and] we’re committed to scaling up SAF production,” he added. According to the report, the UK government had confirmed introduction of a SAF mandate last year requiring at least 10% of jet fuel be made from sustainable sources by 2030, with increasing proportions of SAF blended with fuel from 2025.
