Sustainable Aviation: ‘Research Confirms UK’s Ability to Lead’
(Biofuels International) New research by industry coalition Sustainable Aviation confirms that the UK could be home to up to 14 sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facilities in areas across the country – making it a world leader in clean aviation technology.
The research by energy consultancy E4tech and commissioned by Sustainable Aviation revealed that these facilities could be based in seven clusters – Teesside, Humberside, the north-west of England, south Wales, Southampton, St Fergus and Grangemouth.
These are places with the right feedstocks and infrastructure to turn household, agricultural and industrial waste and renewable electricity into jet fuel.
Through UK production and global exports of technology and expertise, a UK SAF industry could deliver £2.9 billion (€3.2 billion) annually to the UK economy, creating 20,200 jobs in SAF production and export services, with UK production saving 3.6 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2038. READ MORE
