We note with approval the Government’s criteria restricting the feedstocks to be used in UK-manufactured SAF and specifying that feedstocks are not to be obtained from land with high biodiversity value or land with high carbon stocks. We recommend that in its forthcoming Land Use Strategy the Government establish clear and unambiguous criteria as to the type of land which is to be allocated to growing feedstocks for SAF. The Government must also take every opportunity in international forums to press for the highest standards of sustainability in the production of SAF feedstocks. Type: recommendation | Number: 16 | Paragraph: 112 | Response status: partially_accepted Government response: The Government partially agrees with this recommendation. The forthcoming SAF mandate will support SAF that is derived from wastes, residues, or low carbon energy. Strict sustainability criteria will ensure significant GHG emissions savings are delivered and will provide protections against land use
