University of Sheffield chosen as home of the UK’s first SAF Clearing House

In the UK, the University of Sheffield has been chosen to be the home of the UK’s first Sustainable Aviation Fuel Clearing House, as part of new government investment to help decarbonise transport.

The Energy Institute at the University of Sheffield is set to deliver the UK’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels Clearing House – a central hub to coordinate the testing and certification of new sustainable aviation fuels. 

Expected to open in summer 2023, the Clearing House will be based across the University’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels Innovation Centre (SAF-IC) and Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) – two world-class research facilities unlike any other in the UK where academics and industry can work together to develop new low and zero-carbon fuels and technologies.

The SAF Clearing House is a major step in enabling the UK to bring new fuels to market and help reduce carbon emissions from the aviation industry.
