The Secretary of State for Transport has not had discussions with advanced e-SAF producers on the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate call for evidence titled “SAF Mandate: SAF supply and industry certainty in an evolving market”, launched on 16 June. Officials hosted an open webinar on 18 June which was attended by a broad range of stakeholders from across the SAF industry. In addition to this, Officials have held three workshops on the contents of the call for evidence. Stakeholders from across the industry were invited, including e-SAF producers.

Government published a call for evidence on crop-derived SAF in December 2025. We requested feedback on the benefits and risks of using crops, including the impact on food security and land use change. Officials are currently reviewing the evidence and we will provide a government response in due course.
