Airbus in deal to promote sustainable aviation fuel adoption
DUBAI, 29 days ago
SAF One Energy Management Limited, a developer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) solutions, has announced the signing of a MoU with Airbus to collaborate on promoting the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel across the aviation industry.
The collaboration focuses on supporting the aviation industry's decarbonisation goals through increased SAF utilisation.
Under the agreement, both companies will work together to advance SAF adoption in the UAE, and globally, through various advocacy initiatives, said top official.
"We are pleased to partner with Airbus in our efforts to advance the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel," remarked Mounir Kuzbari, the Director and Co-Founder at SAF One.
"Through this collaboration, we will jointly engage with airlines to promote SAF adoption as well as support in promoting the use of SAF produced by SAF One's multiple facilities. By combining our respective airline networks and relationships, this coordinated approach to market development will help address the growing demand for SAF," he stated.
Alexandros Kosmas, Head of International Cooperation Middle East & Africa at Airbus, said: "Partnering with SAF One supports our commitment to advancing SAF production to help meet the growing industry demand."
"Strengthening the SAF ecosystem requires collaboration across the industry, and partnerships such as this play a vital role in scaling production and accelerating availability," stated Kosmas.
As a global aviation hub, the region holds significant potential for SAF production and adoption. Its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and strong aviation sector create ideal conditions for scaling SAF initiatives.
Fostering local production and reinforcing the supply chain, the region can play a pivotal role in meeting growing industry demand and accelerating the transition to more sustainable air travel, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
