UK Advanced Fuels Fund Awards for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

The UK Department for Transport announced the winners of the third window of the Advanced Fuels Fund competition on 22 July 2025, awarding grants to projects developing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production plants across the UK.

• Funding awards range from £1 million to £10 million for projects using various technologies such as gasification, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, methanol-to-jet, ethanol-to-jet, and power-to-liquid to convert waste, CO2, and bioethanol into SAF.
• Projects are at different stages including commercial scale and demonstration plants, with expected operational dates ranging from 2025 to 2030, aiming to reduce lifecycle emissions by over 65% compared to fossil jet fuel.
