»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp revenue certainty mechanism seeks to lower financing costs and increase the chances of first-of-kind SAF projects reaching successful final investment decisions. This will help attract investment intoÌýUKÌýSAFÌýprojects and increase domesticÌýSAFÌýproduction, which will:

  • promote growth in the aviation industry
  • contribute towards meeting theÌýSAFÌýMandateÌý

Our cost-benefit analysis and dataset sets out the quantitative analysis and modelling that underpins our decisions for provisions within the bill. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp analysis uses a range of assumptions to illustrate the potential economic outcomes associated with the revenue certainty mechanism.
