Gevo supplies SAF to network of major airlines
one world Alliance and Gevo have announced that certain members plan to purchase up to 200 million gallons per year of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from the firm.
The delivery of the SAF is expected to commence in 2027, for a five-year term.
Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways expect to utilise Gevo’s SAF for their operations in California including San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles International Airports.
Gevo’s SAF is expected to be produced using field corn products that will then be processed to create ethanol that will then be converted into SAF. Gevo expects to produce the SAF at one or more facilities under development in the Midwest of the US.
one world chairman and Qatar Airways Group CEO Akbar Al Baker said: “As the aviation industry continues to face new challenges, today’s announcement underlines the positive outcome of the multilateral collaboration between industry stakeholders.
“It reaffirms the leadership of our alliance in supporting the ambitious aviation decarbonisation targets, as well as our active role in driving the use of ICAO recognised SAF at a commercial scale.”
one world CEO Rob Gurney added: “Five months ago, we committed as an alliance to a target of 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030. Today’s announcement of a second major sustainable aviation fuel offtake among member airlines builds further upon that commitment, while demonstrating the value that can be delivered when our member airlines work together.”
