UK Clearing House for sustainable aviation fuels officially launches

In the UK, the University of Sheffield said it has been selected as the delivery partner for the UK’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel Clearing House, funded by the Department for Transport. Led by the Energy Institute at the University of Sheffield, and supported by engineering and environmental consultancy Ricardo, the UK SAF Clearing House is now accepting applications from fuel producers for technical support and funding towards the development, testing and qualification of sustainable aviation fuels. The UK SAF Clearing House provides support for the development, testing, qualification, and production of sustainable aviation fuels. Chris Lewis from the University of Sheffield, Director of UK SAF Clearing House, said: “It is great to see there is now a lot of activity in the development of SAF, however the increase in a diverse range of raw materials and processes means a major shift in the industry, which is both an opportunity to reduce aviation emissions and presents a challenge to get these increasingly diverse SAF products to market.” “The UK SAF Clearing House, in cooperation with the EU and US Clearing Houses, will provide technical advice and information, funding to support with testing, and help in understanding how the industry works, as well as helping producers engage with the industry in a positive way. We are delighted to announce we are open for business, so please do come and talk to us,” the added.
