Military Aircraft: Fuels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of of 8 June 2026 to question 4902 on Military Aircraft: Fuels, by when he plans to write regarding the requested information.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The requested information is now available and is given below.
The Ministry of Defence does not undertake the blending of SAF with conventional jet fuel; therefore, the current impact on the services is negligible. The fuel used at Main Operating Bases is pre-blended and subsequently supplied by Exolum as a completed and certified product. Whether there is a logistical burden on the armed services as the mandated percentage increases, and there is a requirement to assess the suitability of legacy refuelling vehicles and storage mediums for SAF would require further analysis.
