🛫 This week the Government approved expansion of Gatwick Airport a move that will skyrocket demand for clean tech to tackle aviation emissions. Let’s build Britain’s clean aviation future before expanding its carbon footprint! 🌍✈️ #SustainableAviation #SAF #Gatwick #NetZero #GreenTech

✈️💭 Did you know the clouds made by planes can warm our planet as much as all aviation’s CO₂ emissions? Check out our UK Director Anna Krajinska's article in @politicshome.bsky.social published ahead of our event at this year’s Labour Party Conference. www.politicshome.com/members/arti...

🌏 ✈️ We spoke with BBC: Rethink to discuss the future of sustainable aviation Full episode on catch-up here 👉 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... #sustainableaviation #aviation #frequentflyer #saf #airports #travel

Latest: Indonesia launches a probe into POME exports following concerns over fraud. Earlier this year T&E published data showing Indonesia was exporting more POME (a palm oil byproduct) to the EU than it could realistically collect - a major sign of fraud.

The U.K. isn’t using its tax regime to disincentivise SUV purchases. A UK driver pays just £3200 acquisition tax on an £85k car, compared to *£66k* in France!! As a result, 4x as many are sold here in the U.K. than France. @transenvuk.bsky.social

Interesting policy suggestion from @transenvuk.bsky.social - Large Vehicle Levy, where cars are charged £10 per kg over 1600kg in weight (with a 400kg allowance for EVs). Suggest it would raise £2 billion for the Treasury.

🚙💰 UK Forfeits almost £2bn by Remaining a Tax Haven for SUVs. 💡 The solution? T&E UK proposes a simple weight-based levy, ensuring larger vehicles pay their fair share. www.transportenvironment.org/te-united-ki...

🏁 Kicking off London International Shipping Week 2025, the Department for Transport has announced £448 million to accelerate shipping decarbonisation and boost green growth across the UK. #LISW25 #Shipping #Decarbonisation #IMO #EmissionsTrading

Good news: EV prices are falling fast thanks to regulation like the ZEV mandate. But when rules are weakened, progress stalls. In the EU, carmakers scaled back ambition after CO₂ targets were watered down. That means fewer EVs and higher costs for consumers.

Great working with BBC Business on their truck electrification story—plenty to talk about as cleaner tech shakes up the freight scene and sparks policy action! 🚚🔋 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very good meeting today with @caneurope.org, @wwf.eu, @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social, and @transenv.bsky.social. We discussed the state of play ahead of #COP30, the 2040 climate target process, the EU’s Nationally Determined Contribution, as well as taxation initiatives.

✈️ Not all Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is created equal. 🌍 E-SAF—produced from captured CO₂ and renewable hydrogen—offers the highest decarbonisation potential. 🎯 Only e-SAF can sustainably meet long-term aviation demand at scale. tinyurl.com/yddrk5yp

We wrote something for @politicshome.bsky.social on the need for a zero-emission mandate for HGVs. The future of haulage is already here—let’s drive it forward with bold, clean commitments. 🚛⚡️ #ZevMandate #HGVs #NetZero #ZeroEmission www.politicshome.com/members/arti...

Feels like groundhog day with MP Andrew Griffith's comments today on the #ZEVMandate ...

An interesting Monday morning read... #EV #ZevMandate www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We’ve joined a group of civil society & private sector signatories urging the UK Government to reaffirm its support for the growth of the domestic power-to-liquid as the highest integrity option for the UK’s aviation sector. Read our full letter and asks 👉 bit.ly/3Za2PTF

“Big step on EV charging —but public points are still more expensive than home charging. We need fair, affordable access for everyone. Let’s keep pushing.” tinyurl.com/2uzatf8v

⏰The higher the vehicle front, the higher the risk of injury in a collision with a pedestrian. New car bonnets are trending higher each year, and there are no limits to these increases in UK laws. New study @transenv.bsky.social & @cleancitiescampaign.org‬ 👉 tinyurl.com/ycx7wsy9

'T&E, a campaign group on transport and environmental issues, said the changes would mean as many as 500,000 extra PHEVs on UK roads by 2030.' www.theguardian.com/environment/... #ZEVMandate #ElectricCars #NetZero

New @clientearth.bsky.social - backed report shows excess diesel emissions could cost the UK: By 2040, we’re facing: - 22,000 premature deaths - 41,000 new child asthma cases - £132bn in economic costs Time to act on #Dieselgate ! www.clientearth.org/latest/news/...

Changes to the #ZEVmandate leave the car industry facing a production cliff edge in the UK by 2030. The proposals jeopardise the stable transition to EVs and undermine industry confidence. Check out T&E UK analysis in the @financialtimes.com 👇 on.ft.com/4kwdL6f

The UK has indicated that it wants to link its carbon market for shipping and aviation with the EU’s. This could pave the way towards these sectors paying for the true cost of their pollution and generate much needed revenues for green fuel and technology investment.

NEW: The Government’s recently announced changes to the ZEV Mandate could result in up to 500,000 additional plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) on UK roads by 2030. That’s bad for the climate and consumers. Here’s why 🧵 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Great to see the UK gov recognising the potential of green aviation fuels to deliver a triple win: ✅ decarbonise aviation ✅ boost jobs ✅ support economic growth Prioritising e-SAF will enable the UK to prosper from aviation without compromising on climate. travelweekly.co.uk/news/new-saf...

UK drivers and businesses are continuing to go electric!⚡️ @newautomotive.org shows that BEV registrations rose 3.7% for April, making up over 20% of new cars - up 31% from 2024. This isn’t by chance: the ZEV mandate is working. Now’s the time for bold policies to make EVs more accessible for all.

✈️And Europe’s top-polluting airline is… Our new report, out today, reveals that Ryanair is #1 of the ten airlines responsible for 40% of all European aviation emissions 😳 Scroll through the report's highlights, or jump straight to the report: www.transportenvironment.org/te-united-ki...

Despite recent tweaks, the UK is still a tax haven for large, polluting SUVs. A BMW X5 pays just £3.2k in VED—vs £66.6k in France. @cleancitiescampaign.org's #Carspreading campaign shows 4.6M+ oversized cars sold since 2021. The government needs to further increase VED on the highest polluters.

NEW: The Government is investigating a source of ‘renewable diesel’ following a new T&E study. The UK was one of the biggest consumers of the biggest consumers of palm oil waste (POME) in 2023, but analysis shows that much of this may be fraudulent. bit.ly/42j2Sgx

Weakening the ZEV mandate won't protect exports or jobs threatened by American tariffs. What the UK auto sector really needs is regulatory certainty & a robust industrial strategy to support domestic manufacturing as the world goes electric. Listen to T&E UK Director Anna Krajinska on BBC Radio👇
