Fuels Industry UK welcomes Department for Transport SAF mandate
Fuels Industry UK welcomes today’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) mandate announcement that gives more certainty on the UK’s future demand for sustainable aviation fuels so industry can now work on ensuring their supply.
It is encouraging that the UK government has acknowledged the important role that Hydrogenated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) is likely to play in the first years of the mandate and the commitment to keeping its levels under review.
Allowing all production methods can attract early UK SAF investment, while also offering clear trajectories for new fuels which will be developed as demand grows.
