Proposes the UK sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate. The SAF mandate will:

create demand for SAF
achieve greenhouse gas emission savings
provide price support for SAF supply

We are seeking views on the:

overarching targets to be set for 2030 and beyond
targets to supply power to liquid fuels and a cap on hydrotreated esters and fatty acids
potential buy-out price, which determines the maximum incentive for supplying SAF
eligible fuels and sustainability criteria
design of the scheme including:
- who the obligation applies to
- how certificates will be issued, traded and used for compliance, and how the obligation will be discharged
administrator and enforcement of the scheme
interactions with other domestic and international policy makers

This builds on the commitment to introduce a SAF mandate in 2025 requiring at least 10% of jet fuel to be made from sustainable feedstocks by 2030 released in 2022.
