Nigel Farage and Liz Truss were amongst those at the launch of the UK branch. Mr Farage was the ‘guest of honour’, and is known to already be working with the group. Reform UK holds a similar attitude towards climate change and has called for the UK’s 2050 net zero emissions target to be scrapped.

James Taylor, the current president of The Heartland Institute, describes the organisation as a “free-market think tank known globally as the world’s most prominent think tank supporting scepticism about man-made climate change”.

Heathrow Commits £86 Million to Boost SAF Adoption for Airlines in 2025

In a bold move to accelerate the aviation industry’s transition to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), Heathrow is expanding its incentive program, covering half the price gap between traditional kerosene and SAF. By making fuel switching more commercially viable for airlines, the airport aims to achieve a 3% SAF adoption rate in 2024, equivalent to 187,000 tonnes of fuel—a significant jump from last year’s 155,000-tonne target, which a £71 million fund backed.
