As part of their “Jet Zero” strategy to achieve net-zero emissions in aviation by 2050, the UK government has mandated that 2% of jet fuel must come from sustainable aviation fuel by 2025. With the new mandate, the government hopes to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support economic growth.

Last week news broke that JetBlue along with Britian’s Virgin Atlantic signed an agreement with a sustainable fuel start up, Air Company, to purchase fuel made from captured carbon emissions.
