Aviation: Alternative Fuels

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of progress towards meeting the target of 10% of UK aviation fuel required to be sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.

Answer: The latest SAF Mandate 2025 provisional statistical release was published on 13 May 2026. These provisional statistics show that, in 2025, over 2% of all reported aviation fuel supply was verified and unverified SAF. Whilst these statistics are provisional, and it is too early to assess levels of supply in 2030, they show a continued increasing trend of SAF supply growing in the UK. Final statistics for 2025 will be published in November.
