Aviation: Fuels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps her Department has taken to increase the supply of (a) sustainable aviation fuel and( b) domestic aviation fuel production.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Low Carbon Fuels Fund (LCFF) will support UK sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply by funding first-of-a-kind SAF production plants through the project pipeline to aid their commercialisation. Up to £219m has been made available through to 2029/30, with the first competition window opening this summer. The LCFF will build on the work of the Advanced Fuels Fund, which allocated over £198m to support private investment in 21 UK SAF projects between 2022 and 2026.
We are working closely with the aviation industry and international partners to monitor risks and support resilient aviation fuel supplies.
