Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate she has made of the number of UK-based sustainable aviation fuel production facilities that have commenced construction since July 2022; and how many jobs have been created through those production facilities.

Through the Advanced Fuels Fund (AFF) the government is providing funding to support first-of-a-kind commercial and demonstration-scale SAF projects in the UK. The Government is also introducing a revenue certainty mechanism to support UK-based SAF projects secure successful final investment decisions. The Department estimates that low carbon fuels production can support up to 15,000 jobs in the UK by 2050.
