UK Government invests £63 million in sustainable aviation fuel funding
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 22 – The UK government’s £63 million investment supports 17 companies to develop sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to create 1,400 jobs and reduce emissions by up to 70%, officials said.
- The UK government announced a £63 million investment in sustainable aviation fuel funding to support 17 British companies developing new jet fuel types.
- This funding comes in response to new UK government regulations starting in 2025 that require flights departing from the country to contain at least 2% sustainable aviation fuel, supporting the goal of achieving net-zero aviation emissions by 2050.
- EET intends to develop a production facility at Stanlow focused on converting methanol into jet fuel, equipped with the capability to blend sustainable aviation fuel into existing jet fuel supplies and serve multiple airports across the UK.
- Aviation minister Mike Kane stated that the funding fosters cutting-edge British innovation, generates thousands of skilled employment opportunities, and helps establish the UK as a leading player in the international sustainable aviation sector.
- While this funding advances SAF production, critics warn it will reduce emissions only marginally and call for immediate emission cuts alongside policies to reduce flight demand.
