16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

In the Gatwick DCO, you found that its assessment of a 3.4% uplift in emissions, which would have been below the material impact level of 5%, was incorrect. The Planning Inspectorate found that the scale of emissions would be such that it was likely to breach the material impact. That relies on you having some fairly s

It gives you fairly biased information, or at least selective information according to the science that it chooses.

What is the obligation? I understand that the main obligation is that the percentage of SAF should increase from 2% to 22%. What is the obligation around power-to-liquid?

What is that obligation? What year and what—

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

I could not find it. There is clarity on that.

The CCC, in its most recent update this year, said that supply-side factors could constrain or enable the rollout of low-carbon technologies. It made specific mention of SAF. It said, “For emerging technologies in our pathway … including synthetic SAF … we generally seek to minimise reliance on them as a sole solution

Maybe I should turn to Ms Krylova. You are in charge of carbon budgets, are you not?

What does the Committee on Climate Change say about demand reduction?

11
16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

What is its primary one? If the second measure is SAF, what is the first one?

16
16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

Yes, they have a combination. The second one is SAF. What is the first one?

15
16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

It is demand reduction. You have not mentioned it.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

Really? Pricing is not something that you are considering.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

It is part of demand management. That is very clear in the CCC reports.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

We know that increasingly people are taking the medium-haul, and yet there is no extra tax on the medium-haul. This will be levied on the short-haul. It will not impact the medium-haul.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

The SAF mandate will not apply to it.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

Yes, the ETS. S&P Global Commodity Insights has looked at the potential constraints on SAF and the potential market. It has said that the number of countries that have proposed or adopted long-term blending targets of sustainable aviation fuels continues to increase. They have done their assessment of that, looking for

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

I applaud what you have done on that because it has been very important in driving forward the production of SAF. S&P Global has looked at global production in terms of long-term commodities. We may produce it—it is great that you have driven that production—but it will be sold on the international market and prices wi

That is interesting. We have never insisted on our oil or gas production from the North sea only being sold in the UK, despite what other political parties have said.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

There are a number of different claims about efficiency gains in the sector. How confident are you that those can be delivered?

22
16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

I mean efficiency in terms of reducing the emissions that are coming from the increases in technology in the aviation sector.
