The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) Order 2024 is designed to support the UK's decarbonisation goals by mandating the incorporation of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) into the fuel supply chain for aviation.
This Order mandates aviation fuel suppliers in the UK to ensure that a specified amount of the aviation turbine fuel they supply is sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This regulation is part of broader efforts to reduce carbon emissions from the aviation sector, supporting the transition towards greener, renewable sources of energy. By mandating the incorporation of SAF into the aviation fuel supply, the UK government aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonise. Compliance with this Order not only supports the global climate agenda but also positions the UK as a leader in sustainable aviation practices.
The Order is set to come into force on January 1, 2025, extending across the United Kingdom, including England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
Benefits of compliance may include:
