£1.5m bid for greener aviation fuel

Yorkshire Evening Post

October 04, 2025

Leeds Bradford Airport is at the centre of a new £1.5m project exploring sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), in a move the government says could pave the way for greener flights.

- by Dennis Morton

Funded by the Department for Transport, the study will investigate producing "Power-to-Liquid" SAF, a fuel made using renewable electricity and captured carbon, at or near the airport.

Unlike biofuels, it does not rely on crops or waste and can be used in today's aircraft without changes to engines or infrastructure, making it a key tool for decarbonising long-haul flights.
