(SAF).

Sustainable aviation fuel is a biofuel alternative to conventional fossil fuel derived aviation fuel.

It is made from renewable plant and animal materials, resulting in relatively lower greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional aviation fuel.


Heathrow's SAF incentive scheme
Samantha Boyd, Heathrow’s treasury markets and liquidity manager, agrees that Heathrow is in a good position to influence the global aviation sector.
“We have schemes in place such as the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) incentive, so the more polluting aircraft pay a slightly higher fee, and that increase creates an incentive pot that we then rebate the airlines bringing in SAF into our fuel supply,” she explains.
“And the rebate is equivalent to halving the gap between standard kerosene fuel versus sustainable aviation fuel.”
