The SAF will be delivered in two shipments, in July and November, and will reduce approximately 2,400 tonnes of CO2 on a net lifecycle basis.
It will be manufactured at Phillips 66 Humber Refinery in North Lincolnshire from sustainable waste feedstocks.
John Cheetham, Chief Commercial Officer at IAG Cargo, says, “At IAG Cargo we’re continuing to look at ways to reduce our impact on the environment and so we’re delighted to collaborate with Bolloré Logistics to reduce carbon emissions with the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel.”
In July 2021, Bolloré launched AIRsaf, offering SAF to customers, reducing carbon emissions by up to 80%.
Offered at cost price, it can be used on one-off or regular shipments made by several airlines on all geographical routes.
Philippe de Crecy, Vice President Airfreight Europe at Bolloré Logistics, says, “This partnership is in line with our “Powering Sustainable Logistics” CSR program. We are indeed committed to cut 30% by 2030, compared to 2019, of our Scope 3 CO2 emissions generated by the execution of transport. This commitment is important to us but moreover for our customers so that they can meet their carbon emission reduction targets. We want to be a driving force in favour of our clients using these more sustainable solutions for air transportation.”
