<p>The Department for Transport publishes journey emissions comparisons as part of
its annual Transport and the Environment publication. These are Official Statistics,
held to the standards laid out in the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.</p><p>

</p><p> </p><p>The Jet Zero Strategy, published in July 2022, set out the Government’s
approach to achieving net zero for the UK aviation sector by 2050. Four analytical
scenarios were produced as part of the strategy, setting out a range of emissions
pathways for the sector, under various assumptions on the likely uptake of different
decarbonisation technologies, including SAF.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Further detail
