The Transport Committee has urged the government to invest in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to help galvanise innovation and progress the aviation sector towards its decarbonisation goals.

The airlines will engage in negotiations on the possible pre-purchase of verified carbon removal credits starting in 2025 through to 2028

In its Fuelling the Future report, the committee said the government must change its approach towards backing specific technology solutions to decarbonise the UK’s transport sector, or risk failing to cut emissions. 

 
The cross-party group further urged the government to move beyond its "deliberately technology agnostic" mindset, as stated in its 2019 Technology Innovation Strategy.
