Sustainable Aviation Fuel Innovation Programme

"Innovate UK KTN has played a key role in helping us reach our sustainable aviation fuel goals, and this new initiative will foster the partnerships required to build a thriving SAF production industry here in the UK. It will also help us achieve our central commitments of having at least five UK SAF plants under construction by 2025 and a SAF mandate of at least 10% SAF blended into the UK jet fuel mix by 2030.”

“Sustainable Aviation is pleased to be partnering with Innovate UK KTN on the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Innovation Programme. Innovate UK KTN has been an important partner working with our industry members to source SAF, identify new technologies and provide us with insight on the UK chemical landscape. The launch of the SAF IP comes at a critical time where the UK government, in collaboration with industry, is driving forward the commercialisation of SAF and Innovate UK KTN is uniquely placed to accelerate the development of the supply chain.”

“Innovate UK KTN have been invaluable for Green Fuels during the development of our FIREFLY sewage-to-SAF process. Connections and introductions made have helped us navigate the industry and identify key stakeholders, not only for offtake of the final fuel, but for feedstock supply, fuel qualification and future investments. Access to the in-depth knowledge base at Innovate UK KTN has helped us gain best value from the Green Fuels Green Skies (GFGS) programme by allowing us to better understand the market drivers and dynamics, aiding the development of a robust, UK-centred, business model that is regionally deployable. With sewage being available everywhere as an inexhaustible supply, this game-changing UK innovation has the potential to impact the SAF landscape globally.”
