Qantas sealed a deal with US biofuels company Aemetis to power its US West Coast flights with low-carbon alternative jet fuel. The multi-year contract covers the purchase of 20 million litres of blended fuel for its planes at Los Angeles and San Francisco airports.
Qantas says it will lower its emissions by about 8% and save about 15,000 tons of carbon a year. The airline also recently agreed to buy 10 million litres of SAF at Heathrow Airport for its London flights.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce cited a lack of feasible SAF options at home and called on Australia to develop domestic SAF production.
