The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded £181,000 (€208,000) in funding through the UK Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Clearing House to four leading innovators – Avioxx Ltd, Clean Planet Technologies Ltd, Green Lizard Technologies Ltd, and Zero Petroleum Ltd.
This investment will accelerate the testing, certification and commercialisation of next-generation sustainable aviation fuels, a cornerstone of the UK’s approach to decarbonising the aviation sector.
The UK SAF Clearing House, funded by the DfT, underpins the UK’s ambition to lead globally in sustainable aviation fuel by supporting development, testing, qualification and production. It helps SAF innovators access government funding, provides guidance on qualification requirements, connects them to recognised testing facilities, and acts as a collaborative forum to accelerate commercialisation.
Matthew Jee, UK SAF Clearing House director, said: “The UK SAF Clearing House is delighted to support a new cohort of SAF producers as they move through the critical stages of fuel qualification. The testing we facilitate provides the robust evidence base that producers and industry need 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 deliver meaningful progress towards a more sustainable aviation sector in the UK.”
The four organisations receiving funding highlight the impact this support will have on advancing their technologies and bringing new low-carbon fuels to market.
