UK Launches Jet Zero Taskforce to Drive Sustainable Aviation

The initiative aims to cut aviation emissions through sustainable fuels, zero-emission flights, and international collaboration.

The Jet Zero Taskforce, chaired by Transport Secretary Louise Haigh, includes industry leaders from airlines, airports, fuel producers, and universities.
A new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate requires 22% of jet fuel to come from sustainable sources by 2040, starting January 2025.
The task force will focus on reducing aviation emissions, including non-CO2 outputs like contrails, and promoting zero-emission flight technologies.
The UK government is investing £450,000 to support developing countries in adopting SAF and decarbonising aviation policies.
The task force's first meeting is scheduled for December 4, with a goal of achieving net-zero aviation emissions by 2050.
