ATOBA, easyJet and World Fuel sign a MoU to develop long-term supply of SAF

easyJet and ATOBA Energy, in partnership with World Fuel Services, have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of long-term supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for easyJet’s operations in Europe and the UK.
The agreement supports the airline’s decarbonisation strategy and is expected to unlock the SAF value chain through the combination of ATOBA’s SAF aggregation, enabling management of pricing and supply volatility risk for airlines and will be further enhanced by World Fuel’s global jet fuel logistics, blending, storage and distribution infrastructure.
The agreement is an important step toward scaling advanced SAF technologies and is intended to support easyJet’s decarbonisation journey.
ATOBA uniquely facilitates the development of SAF production through its upstream and downstream SAF offtake portfolio management.
World Fuel intends to manage logistics, blending, storage and regulatory fulfillment for the EU and UK mandates. World Fuel’s role in ensuring the seamless integration of SAF into easyJet’s supply chain underscores the parties’ joint commitment to developing an efficient and compliant end-to-end sustainable aviation fuel supply chain.
Raminder Shergill, director of tax and fuel strategy at easyJet commented: “We are deeply committed to fostering the growth of the sustainable aviation fuel industry and are thrilled to see ATOBA introduce their innovative approach to catalysing the development of the SAF market.
Arnaud Namer, co-founder and CEO of ATOBA Energy, added: “We are proud to partner with easyJet and World Fuel, two aviation industry leaders taking bold and proactive steps to accelerate aviation’s transition to Sustainable Aviation Fuels. With their expertise in highly efficient operational cost management, they are setting a strong precedent for the industry.”
World Fuel’s senior vice-president (EMEA), Duncan Storey, said: “Our collaboration with easyJet and ATOBA, underscores our commitment to expanding global access to sustainable aviation fuel. By managing logistics and regulatory compliance, we work to ensure the seamless integration of sustainable aviation fuel in the market, empower producers and connect sustainability-focused customers with innovative supply.”
