Sustainable Aviation Partnerships

Airbus and TotalEnergies have announced a landmark strategic partnership dedicated to driving advancements in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technology, with the shared goal of achieving net carbon neutrality for the aviation industry by 2050.

The partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of SAF, which is derived from sustainable sources such as waste oils and agricultural residues. SAF offers a promising avenue for decarbonizing aviation, boasting substantially lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fuels.

TotalEnergies will play a pivotal role by supplying Airbus with SAF to meet over half of its European fuel requirements. Moreover, the partnership will extend beyond fuel supply, as both companies will collaborate on a comprehensive research and development program. These initiatives will cater to a demand for reduced carbon impact.
