The Department for Transport leads on policy to reduce transport emissions and is making great strides in transitioning to greener aviation. Measures to date include introducing the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate, delivering the airspace modernisation programme - which will see cleaner, quicker and quieter journeys - and providing nearly a further £1 billion of funding to support the develop of low and zero emission aerospace technologies through the Aerospace Technology Institute.
