Over £65 million (€76 million) in grant funding has been awarded to 17 cutting-edge sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects, with dozens more already supported through previous rounds. From municipal waste to biogenic CO₂, sawmill residues and green hydrogen, these projects demonstrate the UK’s growing technological diversity in the SAF space. In the latest round, LanzaJet UK secured £10 million (€11.7 million) for "Project Speedbird" in Wilton, which will convert advanced bioethanol into SAF using ethanol-to-jet technology. British Sugar was granted £2.6 million (€3 million) for its Wissington plant, which will convert sugar beet residue ethanol into SAF using ethanol-to-jet processes. The UK government has made it clear that SAF is a central pillar of its Jet Zero strategy.
