TotalEnergies has entered into an agreement to supply airlines Air France and KLM Group with up to 1.5 million tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) until 2035, the Paris-based company said Sept. 23.
The SAF will be used to fuel Air France-KLM flights departing from France, the Netherlands and other European countries, TotalEnergies said.
The sustainable fuel will be produced from waste and residues from the circular economy and will be co-processed at TotalEnergies' French and European biorefineries and refineries, the company said.
By 2030, Air France plans to reduce its CO2 emissions per passenger/kilometer by 30% through a combination of fleet renewal, eco-piloting and incorporating at least 10% more SAF on flights.
“Securing the volumes of more sustainable aviation fuel needed to decarbonize our activity is a major challenge,” said Benjamin Smith, CEO of Air France-KLM Group. “A solid SAF sector capable of meeting our industry’s needs is a key factor in Europe’s sovereignty and energy independence.”
The contract builds on a memorandum of understanding signed in 2022 for the supply of 800,000 tons of SAF, TotalEnergies said.
