Campaign highlight: Government introduces Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill to Parliament


Logistics UK has been calling for support from government on the production of low carbon fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), to help decarbonise. With SAF able to reduce aviation emissions by up to 70% and able to be blended into fossil based aviation fuel and used in existing aircraft and infrastructure without modification, it is key to reducing emissions. 

Last month (14 May), the government introduced the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill to Parliament, which enables the implementation of a revenue certainty mechanism to support Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production in the UK. The government also announced an additional £400,000 of funding for producers.

These measures sit alongside the requirements under the SAF Mandate, introduced in January this year, which specifies that at least 10% of all jet fuel used in flights taking off from the UK from 2030 be made with sustainable fuel, rising to 22% by 2040. 

The government also published its response to its consultation on how the SAF revenue certainty mechanism will be funded on 14 May. The response details that government will proceed with the variable levy on aviation fuel suppliers, relative to their market share of fossil-based aviation turbine fuels. 

Logistics UK responded to the consultation, welcoming a revenue certainty mechanism to help de-risk investment in production.

Logistics UK will continue to call for government support to incentivise SAF uptake across industry.
