Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to require airports to use fuel blended with sustainable aviation fuel as legislated for in the EU; and what sustainable fuel targets they are considering.

The Government has set out its vision to establish the UK as a global leader in the development, production and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel. This is why it has committed to introducing a Sustainable Aviation Fuel mandate equivalent to at least 10% (around 1.5 billion litres) of jet fuel to be made from sustainable sources by 2030. The Government recently published its second consultation on this mandate, in which it proposes to set targets that increase from 2025 to 2040, providing 15 years of certainty for the industry. In the consultation, the Government is seeking views on a range of trajectories that reach between 17% and 32% by 2040.
