Cepsa joins forces with Binter to promote SAF
Cepsa and Binter have signed an agreement to promote the decarbonisation of the aviation sector in Spain through the development and research of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
The alliance will also develop other energy alternatives, such as renewable hydrogen and electrification for the airline's ground fleets.
This agreement, which will promote the sustainability of air transport from one of the main tourist regions in Spain and the world, was signed in Gran Canaria.
President of Binter, Rodolfo Núñez, said: "With this alliance, we take a very important step in Binter's goal to provide air transport service in the most sustainable way possible. To do this, it is essential to promote the consumption of new fuels with low environmental impact, which we will soon be able to start applying to our flights thanks to our joint work with Cepsa."
Pierre-Yves Sachet, Cepsa’s director of mobility and new commerce, highlighted: "At Cepsa we work to provide innovative solutions that promote sustainable mobility. This agreement is a good example of that commitment and also contributes to the competitiveness of Spain’s tourism sector, where the Canary Islands is a major reference.”
The development of SAF is a priority for both companies as a tool to further reduce the carbon footprint of air transport and thus contribute to the fight against climate change and the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.
Cepsa is one of the main suppliers of aviation fuels in the Spanish market and, in particular, in the islands, where it has a significant presence in all its airports.
Binter has made sustainability one of its main priorities and for years has been studying and implementing measures to reduce the impact of its activity on the environment.
This agreement between Cepsa and Binter is in line with the European Commission's Fit for 55 package, which includes a legislative initiative called 'RefuelEU Aviation', which aims to boost the supply and demand of sustainable aviation fuels in the European Union to reach 2% usage by 2025, 5% by 2030, and 63% by 2050.
The agreement signed is another example of Cepsa's commitment to the Canary Islands, where it has maintained close ties since its origins in 1929 in Tenerife, guaranteed the region’s energy supply and favored its economic and social growth. 3
