Oneworld airlines sign new sustainable aviation fuel order
Members of the oneworld alliance have inked a deal to purchase up to 200 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel each year from Colorado-based renewable fuels producer Gevo.
This is the second such joint commitment by the airline alliance in recent months.
Delivery of the fuel will commence from 2027, for a five year-term.
Gevo’s sustainable aviation fuel is produced using inedible corn products that are processed to create ethanol that is in turn converted into sustainable aviation fuel.
The SAF is expected to be produced at three facilities under development in the US Midwest.
Oneworld is the first global airline alliance to jointly commit to purchasing sustainable aviation fuel.
In November 2021, oneworld announced a joint commitment to purchase more than 350 million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel from Aemetis for operations at San Francisco.
Finnair was among the members in this commitment.
“Stimulating demand and supply is important to drive down the price of SAF and to increase its availability – underlining the importance of joint commitments like that of oneworld member airlines,” says Eveliina Huurre, SVP Sustainability at Finnair.
Finnair has earlier partnered with Neste in Finland to increase to use of SAF.
Finnair has set a long-term target to fly carbon neutral in 2045 and SAF is an important part of this commitment.
Finnair recently invited its customers to offset their flight emissions with a service that combines sustainable aviation fuel and climate projects.
Finnair has been operating individual flights with SAF blended fuel since 2011.
