Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of allowing additional flexibility in SAF Mandate compliance, including carrying obligations between years and extending the use of certificates from previous years, to reduce costs arising from supply shortages.

The Government remains committed to our long-term ambition to grow an advanced UK SAF industry. A Call for Evidence on SAF supply and industry certainty was published on 16 June and closed on 28 July. The Department is now consulting directly with stakeholders to gather additional information. Our intention is to publish a government response by the end of the year, subject to the usual approval processes.
