Answered by Keir Mather
The Low Carbon Fuels Fund (LCFF) will provide up to £219m between 2026/27 and 2029/30 to support the commercialisation of first-of-a-kind sustainable aviation fuel production plants in the UK. Funds will be allocated through a competitive bidding process, for which the first window will open in summer 2026. £93m of this funding is available over the first two years of the scheme – FY2026/27 and FY2027/28, with the remaining £126m over FY2028/29 and FY2029/30. The scheme has not been committed past 2029/30.
