What our fuel suppliers had to say
Shell
“Meeting net-zero emissions in aviation by 2050 is a challenge but one that the value chain can and must achieve by working together. As a fuel supplier, we know we have a critical role to play and have set ourselves the goal of becoming a global leader for SAF, with the ambition of supplying 2 million tonnes of SAF per year by 2025. Corporations do play a major role in sending clear and strong demand signals for more sustainable options like SAF, which is why we are happy to be collaborating with airlines such as Cathay Pacific to supply SAF for their Corporate SAF program. Shell is excited to enable a platform for different aviation stakeholders to come together to decarbonise business travel.”
