Shell supplies SAF to Singapore customers
Shell has become the first supplier of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Singapore.
The oil and gas company revealed during an event at the Singapore Airshow.
"We have delivered some (SAF) to our customers SIA Engineering Company and the Republic of Singapore Air Force," said Doris Tan, head of aviation Asia Pacific & Middle East.
Shell has also completed an upgrade of its Singapore facility, which will enable it to blend SAF in the city-state itself, while it also aims to test the supply chain it is establishing for SAF in Asia, Reuters reported.
Aviation, which accounts for 3% of the world's carbon emissions, is considered one of the toughest sectors to tackle due to a lack of alternative technologies to jet fueled-engines.
"Alongside investing in our capabilities to produce SAF, we are also focused on developing the regional infrastructure needed to get the fuel to our customers at their key locations," said Jan Toschka, global president, Shell Aviation.
The SAF supplied is made from waste products and sustainable feedstocks and will be blended at an approved ratio of up to 50% with conventional jet fuel, Shell said.
In its neat form, SAF can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 80% compared with conventional fuel.
The SAF is being supplied by Shell Aviation, as part of Shell Aviation’s SAF supply agreement with Neste, the producer of SAF.
