10.03.25 Flagship Energy Weekly Policy Report
This month’s Policy Report highlights key updates in sustainable aviation, net zero engagement, and climate technology. The UK government is consulting on SAF funding, the CCC reports on public net zero attitudes, and new assessments explore carbon management and fusion energy.
BackSustainable Aviation, Net Zero Households, and Emerging Technologies
This month’s Policy Report highlights major sustainability and technology developments. The Department for Transport (DfT) has launched a consultation on a revenue certainty mechanism (RCM) to boost sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, funded by a levy on aviation fuel suppliers. Meanwhile, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has published research on public perceptions of net zero, revealing strong support for changes—provided government financial support is in place. Additionally, the Government Office for Science has released rapid technology assessments on carbon management and fusion energy, offering insights into the opportunities and challenges of these emerging technologies. These updates provide a snapshot of policy and technological advancements influencing decarbonisation strategies across industries.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels
DfT proposes a revenue certainty mechanism to encourage SAF production, funded by a levy on fuel suppliers.
Net Zero Perceptions
CCC research finds upfront costs are the biggest barrier to household adoption of net zero measures.
