SAF revenue certainty mechanism: approach to industry funding

The consultation asked for views on how the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) revenue certainty mechanism could be funded.  

In our response, the government confirms that:  

• the SAF revenue certainty mechanism will be funded by industry to support the UK aviation industry 
• the variable levy on aviation fuel suppliers will be based on their market share of fossil-based aviation turbine fuel 
• those parties subject to an obligation under the SAF Mandate are liable to pay a levy to ensure reduced administrative burden  

We have included a summary of responses from the 76 respondents across all areas, including fuel producers and the aviation sector. We have also published the SAF revenue certainty mechanism: cost-benefit analysis.
