Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of the inputs into the sustainable aviation fuel used by the i.) Army ii.) Navy and iii.) RAF came from i.) Argentina ii.) Afghanistan and iii.) China in each of the last two years.

No Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from either Argentina or Afghanistan has been provided to Defence. China is one of several contributors to the global supply of SAF and represents a small proportion of the SAF used by UK Defence. Because aviation fuel is subject to the UK SAF Mandate, which legally requires fuel suppliers to blend a growing percentage of sustainable aviation fuel into conventional jet fuel, each Service receives the same proportion of SAF as part of that supply. The proportion of SAF is currently 3.6% of volume and scaling up linearly to 10% in 2030 and 22% by 2040.
