<p>Sustainable alternative aviation fuels are an important means of reducing aviation
emissions.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>The Government is encouraging the production and
use of sustainable alternative aviation fuels in the UK. Recent changes to the Renewable
Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) mean that renewable aviation fuels are eligible for
reward, in the form of tradeable certificates. Additionally, the Future Fuels for
Flight and Freight Competition (the F4C) makes up to £20 million of capital funding
available to projects that will produce low carbon waste-based fuels to be used in
aeroplanes and lorries. Research commissioned by the Department in support of the
competition considered the feasibility of technologies that could produce advanced
renewable fuels for use in aviation. The research is published here at: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/637662/dft_f4c-feasibility_final_report.pdf"

</em></p><p>The Government’s new aviation strategy, Aviation 2050 – The future of
UK aviation, will be published later this year. Through consultation on that Strategy
the Government is also considering further policies it can put in place to assist
the long-term uptake of sustainable alternative fuels in this sector.</p><p> </p><p>
