In a move which anticipates increasing desire from airlines to reduce emissions, Neste and Shell Aviation have entered into a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply agreement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This agreement significantly increases the supply and availability of SAF for the aviation industry with effect from October 2020. It brings together Neste\u2019s expertise in the production and supply of renewable diesel and SAF with Shell Aviation\u2019s world-class credentials in supplying and managing fuel around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo tackle climate change and reach net zero emissions, the aviation industry must act fast. Shell Aviation aims to reduce the carbon intensity of the fuels we sell which includes selling more lower-carbon fuels like sustainable aviation fuel, over time. Today\u2019s agreement with Neste will help Shell Aviation customers to lower their emissions and demonstrates the kind of progress we can deliver by working in collaboration with others,\u201d said Anna Mascolo, President, Shell Aviation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aviation industry is essential for global business, generating growth and facilitating economic recovery. It also enables people to travel and goods to be transported rapidly across the globe. But if we are to address aviation-related emissions, we need to utilize all the available solutions. SAF offers the only viable alternative to fossil liquid fuels for powering commercial aircraft with an immediate potential to reduce aviation\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. We are fully committed to supporting the aviation industry, its customers and corporates with their emission reduction targets,\u201d says Thorsten Lange, Executive Vice President for Renewable Aviation at Neste.<\/p>\n

With one of the most extensive refuelling networks in the world Shell Aviation supplies fuel, lubricants, and sustainable solutions in more than 60 countries. Customers range from the world\u2019s largest airlines to private pilots.<\/p>\n

In April 2020 Shell updated investors on its ambition to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner. We will do this in step with society. Shell aims to reduce the Net Carbon Footprint of the energy products we sell to our customers by around 65% by 2050 and by around 30% by 2035. Shell Aviation is aligned with this ambition.<\/p>\n

Shell Aviation\u2019s carbon management strategy aims to help our customers decarbonise by avoiding emissions on the ground, reducing emissions principally through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and offsetting emissions through the use of carbon credits, specifically nature-based solutions. Shell Aviation plays many different roles in this strategy; a fuel supplier (renewable and conventional), a technology partner, and proponent of energy solutions for airports.<\/p>\n

We actively collaborate across the industry to deliver more sustainable solutions for aviation. Examples include our work with World Energy, SkyNRG, Amazon Air, at San Francisco Airport and Stuttgart Airport. Shell Aviation is proud to be a member of \u201cThe Clean Skies for Tomorrow Coalition\u201d and the\u00a0UK government’s Jet Zero Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
