Event Summary

The United Kingdom government has announced a new £219 million Low Carbon Fuels Fund to accelerate the domestic production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This fund, which includes £93 million available over the next two years, aims to position the United Kingdom as a global leader in low carbon fuels, supporting 15,000 jobs and adding £5 billion to the economy by 2050. The initiative builds on £198 million already invested through the Advanced Fuels Fund since 2022. Alongside the funding, the United Kingdom — Department for Transport has launched a Call for Evidence on the SAF Mandate, which requires an increasing proportion of jet fuel supplied in the United Kingdom to be sustainable, starting at 2% in 2025 and rising to 22% by 2040.
