The UK has issued a\u00a0notice of proposed rulemaking\u00a0that will mandate jet fuel suppliers to blend sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into aircraft fuel starting in 2025. It would set a 10 percent SAF blend requirement by 2030. A target mix for 2025 has not yet been set.<\/p>\n
Less than a year ago, the UK\u00a0launched the Jet Zero Strategy, setting out how the country will deliver on its commitment to reach net-zero aviation emissions by 2050. The SAF mandate is the latest of several measures underway in the strategy program.\u00a0This strategy assumes a 50 percent SAF uptake by criteria; how carbon certificates will be issued, traded, and used for compliance; interactions with other domestic and international emissions policymakers; and how the mandate will be enacted. \u201cWe have already invested in early-stage development of eight UK SAF plants,\u201d the proposal notes.<\/p>\n
The proposal seeks comments on SAF targets set for 2030 and beyond; eligible fuels; and how sustainability will be administered and enforced. Comments are due by June 22.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, more than ever, the [aviation] sector is recognizing that sustainability has to be at the core of its business, as it begins to transform for a net-zero world,\u201d the proposal says. \u201cProgress on decarbonizing is continuing at pace with aviation sector emissions expected to have peaked in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
