Repsol to supply Iberia with SAF for Inditex shipments

Iberia and Repsol have signed an agreement with Inditex to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to transport its merchandise on flights.

Repsol will supply the fuel, which represents 5% of fuel Iberia uses to transport Inditex’s cargo, directly at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas International Airport, which reduces emissions by more than 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.

The SAF supplied by Repsol is certified and complies with the standards of Annex IX Part B of the Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001 II of the European Union.

Carlos Suarez, Director of International Aviation at Repsol, says, “This new alliance with Iberia and Inditex reinforces our commitment to 100% renewable fuels as a lever for the decarbonisation of the transport sector. The first large-scale production of 100% renewable fuels in Cartagena was a milestone in our strategy. This plant, which produces both 100% renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels, will allow Repsol to be ready to supply the aviation sector with the SAF it needs to achieve its decarbonisation plans.”

Teresa Parejo, Head of Sustainability at Iberia, adds, “SAF is the best and most immediate solution to advance in the decarbonisation of aviation. This agreement with Inditex is part of our commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. It is a great challenge that must be addressed on a global scale and that will only be achieved thanks to collaborations like this one, between Iberia and Inditex.”
