The
airline will track the delivery of SAF into the fuelling systems and
environmental benefits using standard industry accounting methodologies.
Emirates’ partnership with Neste, announced late last year, represents one of
the largest volumes of SAF that the airline has purchased to date.
Once
fully supplied into Amsterdam Schiphol’s fuelling system, the blended SAF will
have been comprised of over 700,000 gallons of neat SAF. The airline is also
working with Neste to supply SAF into the fuelling systems at Singapore Changi
Airport in the next few months.
Adel
Al Redha, Deputy President and Chief Operations Officer, Emirates said:
“Collaborating with committed partners like Neste is one of the practical steps
we are taking to reduce our emissions, and it’s an all-important milestone in
our own sustainability journey as an airline. Strong partnerships like this,
especially at major air transport hubs such as Amsterdam, lay the foundation
for how we can work with partners and airports to increase access to and
availability of SAF across our network.”
Alexander
Kueper, Vice President Renewable Aviation, Neste said: “We are proud to
support Emirates in their sustainability journey. SAF is an available solution
for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from air travel and it is exciting that
Emirates have started using our Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel at Amsterdam
Airport Schiphol. It is also a great example of how we are working together
with partners to accelerate SAF usage and are looking forward to the next steps
of our cooperation.”
SAF
used as part of this agreement can be safely dropped into existing jet engines
and airport fuelling infrastructure, and in neat form reduces lifecycle carbon
emissions by up to 80%* compared to using conventional jet fuel.
Emirates’
first flight powered by SAF blended with jet fuel took place in 2017 from
Chicago. The airline currently operates flights from Paris, Lyon and Oslo with
SAF. In October of last year, Emirates, with the support of partners, also
integrated SAF into Dubai Airport fuelling systems, allocating the SAF to a
number of flights, including a flight to Sydney.
Earlier
this year, the airline became the first international carrier to join the
Solent Cluster in the UK, an initiative focused on low carbon investments with
the potential to create a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant that can
produce up to 200,000 tonnes (200 kt) per year if operational by 2032.
Emirates
also actively contributes to a number of industry and UAE government working
groups and is in continuous discussion with a range of stakeholders to help
scale the production and supply of SAF. The airline, along with the UAE GCAA
has actively played a part in developing the UAE’s power-to-liquid (PtL) fuels
roadmap, driven by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the World
Economic Forum, in addition to contributing to the UAE’s National Sustainable
Aviation Fuel Roadmap which aims to transform the UAE into a regional hub for
alternative aviation fuels with the ambition to produce 700 million litres of
SAF by 2030.
Joining
entities across aviation, government, regulatory, academic, fuel production and
the manufacturer value chain, Emirates is a founding participant of the UAE
research consortium Air-CRAFT, focused on developing, producing, and scaling
sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technologies for the industry.
