BA starts using UK’s first commercially produced SAF
British Airways has taken delivery of its first batch of sustainable aviation fuel produced by Phillips 66 Limited.
It makes BA the first airline to start using SAF produced on a commercial scale in the UK.
The Phillips 66 Humber Refinery is producing thousands of tonnes of SAF that will now help power a number of British Airways flights.
The SAF is produced from sustainable waste feedstock at the refinery and British Airways will add it into the existing pipeline infrastructure that directly feeds several UK airports including London Heathrow.
The sustainable aviation fuel bought by BA will be enough to reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions by almost 100,000 tonnes, it says.
British Airways also continues to work with the government on ways to provide certainty for investors to help the UK become a leader in SAF production.
The airline’s parent company is IAG investing $400 million over the next 20 years into the development of SAF.
Sean Doyle, British Airways’ Chairman and Chief Executive, said: “Being the first airline to source sustainable aviation fuel produced at commercial scale in the UK is another breakthrough moment for us.”
“Our supplies of SAF from Phillips 66 Limited will allow us to progress with our ambitious roadmap to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 or sooner.”
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “It’s great to see British Airways is the first airline in the world that started using sustainable aviation fuel produced at scale in the UK – an important milestone towards our ambitious Jet Zero targets.”
