The scheme sets annually increasing targets for fuel suppliers to ensure a proportion of their jet fuel is SAF, starting at 2% in 2025, reaching 10% by 2030 and 22% by 2040. To help meet the demand generated by the SAF Mandate, government is committed to unlocking investment in UK SAF production. To that end, the government has introduced a SAF Bill which will enable us to deliver a Revenue Certainty Mechanism. We are also supporting the UK SAF industry through a grant funding scheme, the Advanced Fuels Fund, for which £63m of funding is available in 2025/26. Together, these measures will give the investment community the confidence to invest in SAF production in the UK.</p>","originalAnswerText":"","comparableAnswerText":"","dateAnswerCorrected":null,"dateHoldingAnswer":null,"attachmentCount":0,"heading":"Aviation: Alternative Fuels","attachments":[],"groupedQuestionsDates":[]},"links":[{"rel":"self","href":"/Questions/1808331","method":"GET"}]}
