Clean Planet Technologies awarded funding to accelerate SAF qualification

Clean Planet Technologies (CPTech), part of the Clean Planet Group, has been awarded funding by the UK Department for Transport (DfT) through the UK Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Clearing House, supporting the next phase of qualification and testing for its waste-plastics-to-sustainable aviation fuel (P2SAF) technology.
The award forms part of a funding package announced today by the DfT, supporting four SAF innovators — Avioxx Ltd, Clean Planet Technologies Ltd, Green Lizard Technologies Ltd, and Zero Petroleum Ltd — to accelerate the testing, certification and commercialisation of next-generation sustainable aviation fuels.
The UK SAF Clearing House plays a central role in the UK’s aviation decarbonisation strategy, providing technical guidance, access to recognised testing facilities, and support for the ASTM qualification process. The programme underpins the UK’s ambition to lead globally in SAF deployment, alongside the SAF Mandate and wider measures to derisk first-of-a-kind SAF production.
Matthew Jee, director of the UK SAF Clearing House, said: “The UK SAF Clearing House is delighted to support [Clean Planet Technologies] as they move through the critical stages of fuel qualification.
“The testing we facilitate provides the robust evidence base that producers and industry needs to build confidence, unlock investment and accelerate the deployment of new fuels. These awards underline the UK SAF Clearing House’s commitment to working closely with innovators to scale sustainable aviation fuel production and to deliver meaningful progress towards a more sustainable aviation sector in the UK.”
