This amendment will include nuclear-derived power-to-liquid fuels in the scope of sustainable aviation fuels for which Revenue Certainty Contracts can be offered, and remove food crops, using the same definition of “relevant crops” as the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order for surface transport (SI 2007/3072).
