The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 22 June 2026 to Question 9696 on the Low Carbon Fuels Fund, whether applicants will be required to demonstrate that funded projects will support (a) jobs, (b) supply chains and (c) economic growth in the UK.

Answered by Keir Mather

Applicants to the Low Carbon Fuels Fund will be assessed through a competitive process, scored against set and weighted assessment criteria. High-level scoring criteria will be released in the guidance to applicants upon the launch of the competition this summer. Jobs, supply chains, and economic growth in the UK are all important aspects of UK SAF projects relevant to the objectives of the scheme.
