Air bp

Air bp, the international aviation fuel products and service supplier, has confirmed an agreement for its first sale of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at Munich Airport.

This latest supply agreement follows Air bp’s recent SAF supply to three UK locations: Biggin Hill, Airbus-owned Hawarden and the Centreline FBO at Bristol.  Clermont Ferrand in France joins the list.  Air bp says that these agreements reinforce the importance of collaboration between fuel supplier, airport and customer in driving the demand for SAF needed if the industry is to meet its lower carbon goals.

The SAF supplied by Air bp is made from waste-based sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oil which is blended with traditional jet fuel. The SAF blend supplied is around 35% SAF and 65% traditional jet fuel. The SAF component provides a lifecycle carbon reduction of around 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces.

Andreea Moyes, Sustainability Director, Air bp, said: "We are delighted to see more SAF supply in Germany, an important aviation market for Air bp. We are working with all stakeholders to explore the viable sale and purchase of SAF, which we believe is one of the aviation industry’s key routes to decarbonising the industry, and helping the world get to net zero.”

Air bp markets fuel at almost 40 airports in Germany.
