The airline says the SAF used as part of this agreement can be safely used in existing Emirates aircraft and airport fuelling infrastructure and reduces lifecycle carbon emissions (CO2) by up to 80% compared to using conventional jet fuel.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) flag carrier Emirates has begun using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as part of its fuel agreement with Finnish energy company, Neste, on flights departing from Singapore Changi Airport, with the airport integrating around 3.3 million litres of blended SAF into its fuelling system over the course of the past few weeks.
The SAF provided by Neste is produced from sustainably sourced and 100% renewable waste as well as residue raw materials, including used cooking oil and animal fat waste.
