The agreement is one of the first regular delivery of blended SAF in Florida with World Fuel due to deliver 60 million gallons of blended SAF over a two-year period.

Valero Marketing and Supply Company, a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation, will provide the SAF.

Daniella Levine Cava, Mayor of Miami-Dade County, said: “Thanks to this groundbreaking agreement, Miami International Airport will continue to pursue having some of the lowest carbon emissions of any US airport, which is amazing news for our residents, visitors, and our local environment.”

Neat SAF purchased under the agreement will be produced from used cooking oil and food waste, certified by International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) and offer at least 80% lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuel.

DHL Express customers can book SAF via DHL GoGreenPlus to reduce their CO2e emissions, and they will receive Scope 3 reductions in the form of certificates.
