Moeve supplies SAF to Air Nostrum

Moeve will supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Air Nostrum at Melilla Airport.
All Air Nostrum flights departing from this airport last October and November carried 30% of SAF supplied by Moeve.
SAF, produced by Moeve at its La Rábida Energy Park (Huelva) from used cooking oils, is a second-generation biofuel that can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% throughout its life cycle, compared to traditional kerosene.
Marta Cencillo, head of sustainable aviation at Moeve, said: "It is a source of pride for us to be the first company to supply SAF in Melilla.
“This new milestone reinforces our commitment to the decarbonisation of the aviation sector, especially in regions like Melilla that are difficult to access from the Peninsula, increasing the need for flight connections. This push is essential for getting SAF to airports across Spain. We are one of the main SAF producers and suppliers in Spain and already supply it on a permanent basis at the main airports of the country.”
José Sanz Miguel, director of quality, environment, and emergencies of Air Nostrum, highlighted: "At Air Nostrum, we firmly believe in SAF as a lever for decarbonising the aviation sector.
“This is why our commitment for 2030 is to use 10% of this sustainable fuel, a percentage that almost doubles the requirement set by the European ReFuelEU Aviation mandate.
“To advance with this commitment, we have chosen Melilla for this environmental initiative, also as a demonstration of our responsibility towards the people of Melilla. The aircraft that refueled in October and November at Melilla airport loaded 30% certified sustainable fuel, which significantly reduces their carbon footprint due to the emission savings enabled by SAF."
