Aviation: Alternative Fuels

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of progress towards meeting the target of 10% of UK aviation fuel required to be sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.

Answered by Keir Mather

The latest SAF Mandate 2025 provisional statistical release was published on 13 May 2026. These provisional statistics show that, in 2025, over 2% of all reported aviation fuel supply was verified and unverified SAF. Whilst these statistics are provisional, and it is too early to assess levels of supply in 2030, they show a continued increasing trend of SAF supply growing in the UK. Final statistics for 2025 will be published in November.
