Extract from COP26 questions: RTFO - Dec 1

Wera Hobhouse (Bath) (LD): Synthetic aircraft fuels are still in their infancy. Domestically, the Government have a tool, the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation  by which they can mandate the mixing of synthetic fuels with conventional aircraft fuel, thereby starting the process of making synthetic fuels viable. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of any similar mechanisms in other countries, so we can start an international agreement on mixing synthetic fuels with aircraft fuels and driving the route to net zero?

The COP26 President (Alok Sharma): As the hon. Lady knows, the Government are putting funding behind sustainable aviation fuels. I would be very happy to arrange a meeting for her with the Secretary of State for Transport or with a Transport Minister.
