UK Government invests £63 million in sustainable aviation fuel funding

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 22 – UK Government funding supports 17 companies to advance sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to cut emissions by 70% and create 1,400 jobs, boosting the economy by £5 billion by 2050.

  • The UK government invested £63 million in January 2025 to support 17 companies developing sustainable aviation fuel for flights departing the UK.
  • This investment aligns with the UK government’s new regulation starting in 2025, which requires airlines to include at least 2% sustainable aviation fuel in jet fuel, aiming to cut greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 70% compared to traditional kerosene throughout its entire lifecycle.
  • Essar Energy Transition plans a Methanol-to-Jet production hub at Stanlow to blend SAF on-site, aiming to become a low-carbon process refinery critical to UK decarbonisation.
  • Aviation minister Mike Kane said they back British innovation, create thousands of jobs, and position the UK at the forefront of the sustainable aviation market.
  • Campaigners warn SAF availability and scalability remain limited, risking insufficient emissions cuts and justifying irresponsible airport expansion without policies addressing frequent flying.
