To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to implement financial mechanisms to support sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in the UK in view of the forthcoming SAF mandate.

Answer

As announced in the King’s Speech, the Government will be laying legislation to introduce a revenue certainty mechanism that will support SAF production in the UK. We expect the legislation for a revenue certainty mechanism to be in place by the end of 2026.
