Consultation response

Mandating the use of sustainable aviation fuels in the UK

October 7, 2021

T&E responds to questions posed by a public consultation by the UK government.

If UK aviation is to have any hope of being net zero by 2050, then a huge ramp-up in the uplift of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is required in Britain. The government proposes the introduction of an obligation on fuel suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint of jet fuel used in the UK, to be achieved through greater use of SAF. T&E’s response includes answers to the specific questions posed by the public consultation.
