Provisional figures in government mandate’s first year show 20% shortfall in levels of SAF supplied for UK flights
The take-up of sustainable aviation fuels is on course to fall short of the UK government’s first annual mandate, official figures suggest.
Production data published by the Department for Transport (DfT) covering most of 2025 shows that sustainable fuels (SAF) only accounted for 1.6% of fuel supplied for UK flights – 20% less fuel in volume than the 2% needed to fulfil the requirement.
