answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2022 answer text <p>Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a key technology to achieve Jet Zero, being supported by three key policy pillars: the SAF mandate; the capital grant programmes; and considerations on support for longer-term commercialisation. The MoD is proactively engaged in the Jet Zero Strategy and the proposed UK SAF Mandate strategy.</p><p> </p><p>The MoD will use increasingly greater aviation fuel SAF blends (which are currently limited to 50% blends) as they become more commercially available and cost effective, are supplied in the aviation fuel supply chain via SAF mandates, equal or enhance operational output and tasks, and support wider government requirements. DfT, MoD and UK civil aviation stakeholders are developing options to increase UK SAF production capacity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/11/2022 15:08:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
