UK opens public consultation on SAF revenue certainty mechanism

In the UK, the government confirmed previously that industry should fund the revenue certainty mechanism for Sustainable Aviation Fuel through a variable levy on aviation fuel suppliers. It has opened a public consultation until Jan. 8, 2026 that seeks views on specific design features of the aviation fuel supplier levy, which will fund the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) revenue certainty mechanism.

The design features of the levy include:

·      how it could be calculated

·      the length, frequency and sequence of when the levy is calculated, collected and paid

·      the use of forecasts to provide certainty for industry

·      actions to address over-collection, surpluses and under-collection of the levy
