Emirates inks supply deal for Dubai SAF
Emirates has inked an agreement with Shell Aviation for over 300,000 gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel at the airline’s hub in Dubai.
The first SAF delivery is expected before the end of the year.
It will be the first time SAF is supplied through the DXB airport fuelling system.
This is the latest move forward by Emirates to reduce emissions.
Emirates will track SAF delivery and its use data through Avelia, a blockchain powered SAF solution.
Avelia is powered by Shell Aviation and Accenture, with support from Energy Web together with American Express Global business travel.
Through Avelia, Emirates will purchase the physical SAF to help decarbonise its Scope 1 related emissions.
The Scope 3 environmental attributes associated to the same SAF will be purchased by Shell Corporate Travel to help decarbonise its related business travel.
Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said: “We are proud to work in partnership with Shell to make a SAF supply available for Emirates in Dubai for the first time.”
Sustainable aviation fuel can be blended with conventional jet fuel at a ratio of up to 50%, with significantly lower carbon emissions.
In neat form, SAF can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 80%.
Earlier this year, Emirates successfully completed the first 100% SAF-powered demonstration flight in the region.
The airline’s first ever flight powered by SAF blended with jet fuel took place in 2017.
