The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure the revenue certainty mechanism equally prioritises greenhouse gas reductions and fuel production volume.

Answered by Mike Kane

The Revenue Certainty Mechanism is intended to support both greenhouse gas reductions and UK production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by providing revenue certainty to encourage investment in the construction of SAF plants. The SAF Mandate will need c1.2 million tonnes of SAF and reduce aviation emissions by 2.7MtCO2e annually in 2030. A UK supply of SAF will help fulfil the SAF Mandate, delivering carbon savings.
