<p>In July 2022, Government confirmed that a SAF Mandate would be introduced in 2025
requiring at least 10% (around 1.5 billion litres) of jet fuel to be made from sustainable
feedstocks by 2030.</p><p>In the second SAF mandate consultation, it was proposed
that increasing targets be set out in legislation from 2025-2040. The levels of these
targets will be confirmed in a Government response to the consultation due to be published
in Spring 2024.</p><p>The SAF mandate will support SAF produced using a range of feedstocks
and technologies including biofuels from waste materials via the hydrotreated ester
fatty acids process.</p><p>Our £135m Advanced Fuels Fund is supporting 13 different
SAF projects reach commercial scale in the UK. These cover a range of technologies
to drive innovation and diversity of supply. Once operational, these projects are
expected to collectively produce over 700 kilo tonnes of SAF and reduce CO2 emissions
by 2.7 million each year.</p><p>In September 2023, the Government also committed to
introduce a revenue certainty mechanism to support SAF production in the UK. The intention
is that it will be industry funded. The mechanism will provide revenue certainty for
SAF production, supporting investor confidence in UK SAF projects.</p><p> </p>
