<p>The Government is supporting UK businesses working on net zero aviation through
a variety of programmes and policies which are set out in our Jet Zero Strategy, published
in July 2022.</p><p>We have also committed to introducing a SAF mandate requiring
at least 10% of fuel to be made from sustainable sources by 2030. Over the next three
years we are also providing £180 million of funding to accelerate the commercialisation
of SAF plants and fuel testing, including £165 million for the Advanced Fuels Fund.
We are looking carefully at how to create the long-term conditions for investable
projects in the UK and have said we will set out a preferred position by the end of
the year.</p><p> </p><p>To support the development of new and zero-carbon emission
aircraft technology still further, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy is providing £685 million of funding to the Aerospace Technology Institute
Programme over the next three years, an increase of £235 million over the previous
three years.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to work with businesses through the Jet Zero
Council and other forums to consider how to develop and industrialise clean aviation
and aerospace technologies, establish UK production facilities for SAF and develop
a co-ordinated approach to the policy and regulatory framework needed to deliver net
zero aviation.</p>
