Emirates has activated its fuel agreement with Neste at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, marking a significant step in sustainability.
Commencing this month, over 2 million gallons of blended Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will fuel operations throughout 2024.
This move underscores Emirates’ commitment to reducing emissions and sets a precedent for sustainability in the aviation industry.
Tracking SAF delivery and its environmental impact using industry-standard methodologies demonstrates Emirates’ dedication to transparency.
Partnering with Neste signifies one of the airline’s largest SAF purchases, enhancing its global sustainability efforts.
Once integrated into Schiphol’s fuelling system, the SAF blend will comprise over 700,000 gallons of pure SAF.
Emirates plans to extend this initiative to Singapore Changi Airport, further expanding SAF usage across its network.
Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Deputy President, emphasizes the importance of partnerships in advancing sustainability goals.
Neste’s Vice President, Alexander Kueper, applauds Emirates’ commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
SAF usage, as part of this agreement, significantly reduces lifecycle carbon emissions compared to conventional jet fuel.
Emirates’ proactive approach to sustainability dates back to 2017 and includes integrating SAF into various flight operations.
The airline’s involvement in initiatives like the Solent Cluster and the UAE’s SAF roadmap demonstrates its leadership in sustainability.
Emirates actively collaborates with industry stakeholders to scale SAF production and drive innovation in alternative fuels.
As a founding participant in the Air-CRAFT consortium, Emirates contributes to developing sustainable aviation fuel technologies.
