UK Emissions Trading Scheme: Treatment of sustainable aviation fuel
Consultation description
In June 2023, the UK ETS Authority made a commitment to develop, then consult on, proposals regarding the claiming of emissions reductions from sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) by aircraft operators under the UK ETS.
The Authority is therefore seeking views on options for the future treatment of SAF in the UK ETS.
We wish to ensure that SAF is accounted for appropriately in the UK ETS, taking into account interaction with the UK government’s SAF Mandate which came into effect on 1 January 2025. This consultation also considers potential operational changes to how SAF use under the UK ETS is regulated.
