href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/statistics\/sustainable-aviation-fuel-saf-mandate-statistics-2025-second-provisional-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published statistics<\/a> for the first 10 months on aviation fuel supplied to the UK under the SAF Mandate, which came into effect as of 1 January 2025. Data includes the amount of UK aviation fuel from low carbon and fossil fuel, and the number of SAF Certificates which have been issued to fuel that meets sustainability requirements. According to <strong>CFP Energy<\/strong>, the data shows that SAF accounted for only 1.6% of UK jet fuel in the period, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/sustainable-aviation-fuel-saf-mandate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mandate<\/a> starting at 2% of total UK jet fuel demand in 2025, increasing linearly to 10% in 2030 and then to 22% in 2040. It adds that almost all certified SAF so far comes from HEFA fuels based on used cooking oil (UCO) from Asia, and only a single certificate trade has been recorded to date. \u201cCertification delays and a heavy reliance on UCO from Asia underline how fragile early progress remains. With the HEFA cap coming into force in 2027, supply diversity and scalable production will be critical if the UK is to meet its long-term blending targets,\u201d commented Axel Vanmeulder, Renewable Fuels Expert at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfp.energy\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CFP Energy<\/a>.<br><br><strong>SITA<\/strong>, <strong>Amadeus<\/strong> and the Arab Air Carriers\u2019 Organization (<strong>AACO<\/strong>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sita.aero\/pressroom\/news-releases\/sita-amadeus-and-aaco-collaborate-to-drive-greater-transparency-on-emissions-in-air-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have come together<\/a> to explore how data and technology can bring greater accuracy and transparency to aviation\u2019s sustainability efforts. The initiative \u201crepresents a concrete step towards helping airlines and passengers make informed decisions based on the environmental impact of air travel, and building the trust needed to support meaningful climate action,\u201d said the partners. The collaboration pairs SITA Eco Mission, which draws on real aircraft performance and operational data to deliver accurate emissions and fuel-burn calculations, with Amadeus Travel Suite, which aggregates carbon emissions calculations from multiple recognised sources and standards.<br><br>Global engineering firm <strong>Alfanar Group<\/strong> has confirmed plans to move its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousegreenfuels.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lighthouse Green Fuels<\/a> SAF facility in Teesside, UK, to a neighbouring, larger site, which the company says offers closer access to key infrastructure, space for expanded on-site processing, and future growth. Due to come online in 2030, Alfanar claims the \u00a32 billion ($2.6bn) project is one of the largest of its kind in the world. It will convert 1.5 million tonnes of sustainably sourced biomass feedstocks \u2013 including forestry, sawmill and agricultural residues \u2013 into more than 180 million litres of second-generation SAF annually. The facility will be close to carbon capture and storage infrastructure, providing the opportunity for integration into the network when online. Alfanar said this would enable SAF to be produced with a 200% lifecycle emissions reduction compared to conventional jet fuel and enough to meet 11% of the UK\u2019s 2030 SAF mandate.<br><br>Texas-headquartered SAF producer <strong>XCF Global<\/strong> has <a href=\"https:\/\/xcf.global\/news-details\/2025\/XCF-Global-Strengthens-Leadership-to-Accelerate-Commercial-Growth-in-Sustainable-Aviation-Fuel\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appointed Chris Cooper as CEO<\/a>, succeeding Mihir Dange. Cooper was formerly President of Neste U.S. (North America), where he led strategy, operations and stakeholder engagement, and previous to that was Head of Renewables Trading at energy and commodities trading company BGN. A professional pilot, he has also held senior leadership roles at Phillips 66 and Chevron.<br><br><strong>NXTClean<\/strong> <strong>Fuels<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/nxtclean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/NXT-Topsoe-Announcement-Nov-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has chosen Topsoe<\/a> as the technology licensor for its new SAF and renewable diesel facility at Port Westward, Oregon, which the company claims is the largest greenfield SAF and renewable diesel project in the US. <a href=\"https:\/\/nxtclean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NXTClean Fuels<\/a> will utilise Topsoe\u2019s HydroFlex, SynCOR and H2bridge technologies and catalysts to produce up to 50,000 barrels per day (750 million gallons per year) of SAF and renewable diesel. Taken together, <strong>Topsoe<\/strong> says the technologies will significantly reduce the carbon intensity of the fuels produced. The project has secured State of Oregon permits and is advancing through federal permitting. Subject to final investment decision, the facility is expected to be operational by 2029.<br><br><strong>OXCCU<\/strong>, an Oxford University spin-out startup converting waste carbon and hydrogen into sustainable aviation fuel, has become the first SAF company to receive funding through the UK government\u2019s <strong>Aerospace Technology Institute<\/strong> (ATI) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ati.org.uk\/funding\/non-co2programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Non-CO2 Programme<\/a>. The \u00a31.8 million ($2.3m) grant will be used to investigate the non-CO2 effects of its OXFUEL synthetic crude, with the project running from July 2025 to June 2027. The focus will include soot particles, which can cause cloud formation at altitude and therefore impact global warming, though the amount of warming (or cooling) these particles cause is subject to ongoing research.<br><br>The EU-funded <strong>ECO2Fuel<\/strong> project and its partner RWE Power claim to have made a major breakthrough by successfully demonstrating a closed carbon loop system that integrates synthetic e-fuel generation, CO2 capture and recycling, and heat reuse, which shows that carbon can be reused rather than emitted. \u201cThe carbon capture technology developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/eco2fuel-project.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ECO2Fuel<\/a> converts CO2 to sustainable synthetic gaseous and liquid e-fuels, without relying on hydrogen or critical raw materials,\u201d said the project\u2019s coordinator, Faria Huq, at Germany\u2019s DLR. \u201cThese e-fuels can serve as starting material for synthetic aviation and transport fuels, while the renewable energy generated during electrochemical CO2 conversion can be used for different applications, for example, for backup power generation. Our target of achieving a system CAPEX of 400-600 \u20ac\/kW will enable cost-competitive e-fuel production.\u201d<br><br>A <a href=\"https:\/\/carbontracker.org\/sustainable-fuel-alone-unlikely-to-decarbonise-the-aviation-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> by climate think tank <strong>Carbon Tracker Initiative<\/strong> (CTI) says that while \u201ctruly sustainable\u201d alternative jet fuel will play a role in decarbonising aviation, it is likely to be smaller than currently believed and unlikely to provide a near-term solution. Even if all under-development and announced projects ran at capacity, they would only displace 5% of fossil jet fuel by 2030 and would not keep up with growth in jet fuel consumption. Offtake commitments, a key signal of future demand, are still minimal and cover less than 2% of potential jet fuel consumption in 2030, say the report\u2019s authors. Longer-term obstacles include costs and price premiums and regulatory uncertainty facing offtakers; lack of long-term commitments and weak bankability facing producers; and feedstock availability, feedstock sustainability and opportunity costs.<br><br>European energy logistics company <strong>Exolum<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/exolum.com\/en\/noticia\/up-to-65000-greener-flights-set-for-take-off-as-exolum-announces-investment-in-uks-first-independent-saf-blending-facility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has announced a \u00a34.5 million ($6m) investment<\/a> in the UK\u2019s first independent SAF blending facility at Redcliffe Bay in southwest England. Expected to be operational from 2026, the new facility is part of wider plans for a UK-wide network of SAF blending hubs. Exolum says it is planning a 2,000km pipeline network, creating a \u2018SAF Superhighway\u2019 that will provide producers and importers with market access to the jet fuel for 40% of flights leaving the UK\u2019s airports, including those at Heathrow, Gatwick, Bristol, Exeter and Cardiff. The project includes several infrastructure upgrades to Exolum\u2019s existing aviation fuel pipeline storage and pumping station at Redcliffe Bay.<br><br>A report, <a href=\"https:\/\/d3tecgj53zm4r7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/uploads\/Rethinking_Feedstocks_for_SAF_PA_FEG_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Out of the Fryer<\/a>, by SAF market accelerator <strong>Future Energy Global<\/strong> and <strong>PA Consulting<\/strong>, provides analysis of alternative feedstocks for HEFA-based SAF production, and highlights the trade-offs and opportunities for airlines, SAF producers, energy players and investors. HEFA is the most commercially mature SAF pathway, with standalone production expected to reach 10 million tonnes globally by 2030, but used cooking oil, the dominant feedstock, is facing global supply constraints and so driving up prices and creating uncertainty for SAF producers. Four alternative feedstocks, widely available in the US, are identified in the report: primary oil crops like soy-bean and canola; oilseed cover crops; animal by-products; and distillers\u2019 corn

class=\"blockspare-description\">US-based renewable fuels pioneer LanzaJet has announced the first production of jet fuel from ethanol at its commercial-scale Freedom Pines Fuels facility in Soperton, Georgia. The company said it was progressing a new generation of post-HEFA product and broadening options for non-fossil-based aviation fuel. Its alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology offered not only a scalable option to decarbonise air transport using ethanol from waste and recycled carbon, it added, but also new opportunities for the agricultural sector to monetise both crops and waste as fuel feedstocks, while providing a new avenue for nations to strengthen their energy security. The Freedom Pines milestone coincided with two other project developments for LanzaJet, one in the UK where, backed by British Airways, it is progressing construction of an ethanol-to-SAF plant in Teesside, in northeast England, the other in Kazakhstan where it has partnered with the national oil and gas company, KMG, to develop a plant. \u00a0<\/p><div class=\"blockspare-block-button\"><a

class=\"blockspare-description\">The European Commission has released details of its long-awaited Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) to help accelerate funding and production of renewable and low-carbon aviation and maritime fuels. Conceding that Europe faces \u201cclear market failure\u201d unless it can quickly attract investments in new fuel development, the Commission has announced initiatives including streamlined funding procedures, designed to collectively mobilise at least \u20ac2.9 billion ($3.4bn) to progress programmes by the end of 2027. By 2035, it added, 20 million tonnes of alternative fuels \u2013 13.2 Mt of biofuels and 6.8 Mt of synthetic product, or e-fuels \u2013 will be needed to meet targets set under the ReFuelEU Aviation programme and FuelEU Maritime Regulations, requiring an estimated \u20ac100 billion ($116bn) in investments to drive production. A key focus of the package is to support production of e-fuels, a pathway considered critical to decarbonising air and sea transport, but with no European projects yet achieving final investment

Established by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the non-profit Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo) will use a special-purpose SAF Fund to buy the fuel from the proceeds of a new SAF levy, full details of which are yet to be announced. Initially, SAFCo will purchase sufficient supplies to achieve the 2026 national target of 1% SAF usage for departing flights. Elsewhere in Asia, Cathay Pacific Airways and aircraft manufacturer Airbus have announced a partnership to jointly invest up to HK$545 million ($70m) to expedite SAF production in Asia and

class=\"blockspare-description\">The UK government has opened another public consultation on the levy to fund the revenue certainty mechanism (RCM) it is setting up to help sustainable aviation fuel producers secure final investment decisions on their projects. The government\u2019s preferred approach is to introduce a levy on suppliers of aviation fuel, and the latest Department for Transport (DfT) consultation sets out options and considerations regarding the levy\u2019s detailed design. SAF plants at commercial scale can cost \u00a3600 million ($800m) to \u00a32 billion ($2.6bn) to reach a profitable size, says DfT, and usually run at a loss during their early years of deployment. Investors have so far been risk averse towards first-of-a-kind production plants, with no reliable UK or global SAF market price for advanced SAF in place and projects competing for finance with other low carbon technologies.<\/p><div class=\"blockspare-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?p=8184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"blockspare-button

class=\"blockspare-description\">The African Development Bank, a key enabler of economic projects across the region, has joined with Japanese engineering group JGC Corporation to explore ways to collaborate on producing and providing sustainable aviation fuel in Africa. The parties signed a letter of intent during the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9), held in Yokohama, Japan. It creates a basis to jointly promote development, information and knowledge sharing, and consider co-funding SAF and other sustainable aviation initiatives. A survey released by the African Airlines Association has revealed low levels of access to SAF for African carriers and widespread concerns about the likely costs of the new fuels. But the survey also showed significant support by the airlines for cooperation on securing SAF and on green financing initiatives.<\/p><div class=\"blockspare-block-button\"><a

class=\"blockspare-description\">According to EmeraldSky analysis from Cirium, global passenger jet operations on July 18 generated a daily record 2.52 million tonnes of CO2, 0.1% above the previous record set on 2 August 2019. The milestone, says the aviation analytics consultancy, marks the sector\u2019s complete recovery from the Covid pandemic collapse. However, it says, the path back reveals fundamental shifts in how the industry operates: airlines achieved a 7.4% improvement in fuel efficiency per available seat kilometre (ASK) compared to six years ago, while accommodating substantially more passengers. Cirium says that despite supply chain and engine issues, the analysis shows that even with older aircraft handling more operations than planned, airlines still achieved significant efficiency improvements through operational optimisation.<\/p><div class=\"blockspare-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?p=8161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"

country\u2019s first sustainable aviation fuel project and deploy LanzaJet\u2019s alcohol-to-jet technology to the region. The partners recently completed a joint feasibility study and have now agreed to proceed to the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) development phase of the project, during which all technical and economic solutions for construction of the plant will be finalised. The next phase is set to get underway immediately and the project is expected to support anticipated SAF demand in the country that is likely to hit 70,000 tonnes annually by 2030. LanzaJet was recently awarded \u00a310 million ($13m) from the UK\u2019s Department for Transport (DfT) to accelerate development of its Project Speedbird commercial-scale ethanol-to-SAF biorefinery

capturing and storing atmospheric carbon or recycling it to produce e-SAF. But a new discussion paper released by SkyNRG, a leading global supplier and emerging producer of SAF, argues that both technologies should be used as complementary measures to decarbonise air transport rather than as competing options. The Amsterdam-based company says the high cost of developing e-SAF is driving some in the industry to consider extending the use of less-expensive fossil fuels while also investing in technologies which remove carbon from the atmosphere for permanent storage. <\/p><div class=\"blockspare-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?p=8132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

class=\"blockspare-description\">South Korea has announced compulsory use of blended sustainable aviation fuel for international flights departing its airports from 2027. The blending mandate will start at 1% and rise to 10% by 2035. From 2028, international airlines will also need to use SAF-blended fuel for at least 90% of their annual refuelling at South Korean airports. The new policies were devised jointly by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) as part of their Sustainable Aviation Fuel Blending Mandate Roadmap. Additionally, a SAF Alliance was established to unite representatives of the aviation and refining sectors with related agencies to expedite supply and use of the fuel. In a carrot-and-stick approach, the ministries foreshadowed rewards for airlines which use more than the mandated minimum blend of SAF, and for passengers making specific contributions towards the cost of the fuel but also warned of steep penalties for non-compliance.<\/p><div class=\"blockspare-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?p=8125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
