The Department for Transport is implementing the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act 2026 to establish a policy framework and revenue certainty mechanism for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and uptake in the UK. The legislation aims to support the aviation sector's decarbonisation through mandates, contracts, and financial incentives for SAF blending and supply.

UIN: HCWS429 This Government is fiercely proud of the success of Britain’s aviation industry – and is committed to ensuring it continues to grow and succeed in future. Decarbonisation is critical to that future, and today we are setting out …
Proposes the UK sustainable aviation fuel mandate which requires jet fuel suppliers to blend SAF into aviation fuel, from 2025, thereby reducing CO2 emissions.
The outputs from the modelling undertaken by the Climate Change Committee, the Government and Sustainable Aviation vary as to the projections of likely emissions reductions from UK aviation by 2050. In some instances these variations are substantial, and tend to …
We recommend that the Government work with the Climate Change Committee and Sustainable Aviation on a comparative analysis of the models underpinning the projections for UK aircraft emissions, so as to reach consensus, as far as possible, on the likely …
We agree with the Climate Change Committee that the 0.5% year-on-year improvement in fuel efficiency from the aircraft fleet requires considerable effort both in research and development activity and in incentivising the industry to renew existing aircraft fleets. Type: conclusion …
Sustainable aviation fuels may offer a means of reducing the carbon emissions attributable to the lifecycle of aviation kerosene from its production to its combustion, and the Government envisions a substantial role for SAFs. There is nevertheless potential for wide …
We welcome the initiatives taken by the Government to date to establish a domestic industry for the manufacture of sustainable aviation fuels, and the steps it is taking to build long-term supply chains for domestic and international aviation. We note …
We are concerned that the broad definition of what is currently considered a sustainable fuel, and the absence of a global standard for SAFs, may lead to the development of aviation fuels which cannot credibly be described as sustainable. We …
We note with approval the Government’s criteria restricting the feedstocks to be used in UK-manufactured SAF and specifying that feedstocks are not to be obtained from land with high biodiversity value or land with high carbon stocks. We recommend that …
We further recommend that Ministers and officials work vigorously at the ICAO and in all other relevant international bodies for the establishment of a global regulatory standard for SAFs which is comprehensive and rigorous. Type: recommendation | Number: 17 | …
We welcome the establishment of an UK SAF Clearing House at the University of Sheffield to support SAF producers through the process of certification and approval of their products for commercial use. Type: conclusion | Number: 18 | Paragraph: 114 …
The Government must match its ambition for the development of a domestic SAF industry with an appropriate appetite for risk and innovation in order to ensure that commercial production of truly sustainable fuels develops at pace. The introduction of a …
We welcome the decision of the UK Government and devolved administrations to end the issuing of free ETS allocations to aviation with effect from the 2026–2030 allocation period. We note that the use of SAF in aviation is currently zero-rated …
We recommend that the Government implement its proposed changes to the UK ETS so as to remove conventional aviation fuel from free allocations, and that it consult on a methodology to include SAF in the ETS in a way which …
