TUI and Cepsa join forces to decarbonise flying
TUI and Spanish energy company Cepsa have signed an agreement to promote the supply of sustainable aviation fuel.
Fuels will be produced from circular raw materials that do not compete with food resources, such as used cooking oils, non-food animal waste or biodegradable waste.
It will make it possible to reduce aircraft emissions by up to 80%.
TUI is on a journey to net-zero emissions travel, with the goal to be achieved by 2050.
“Sustainable tourism not only has a lower ecological footprint, but also supports change in holiday destinations – offering opportunities for local people in destinations and creating social and economic added value,” said Thomas Ellerbeck, Chief Sustainability Officer at TUI Group.
TUI has a long-standing partnership with Cepsa.
Cepsa supplies TUI with kerosene and, in future, with SAF, as well as fuel for coaches in some of the destinations and for the ships of the Group’s cruise division.
The agreement is in line with the European Commission’s Fit for 55 package, that aims to boost the supply and demand of aviation biofuels in the European Union to 2% use by 2025, 5% by 2030 and 63% by 2050.
The partnership supports several of the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
