Shell and Lufthansa Sign SAF Supply Agreement

Global oil giant Shell International Petroleum (Shell) and German airline Deutsche Lufthansa have signed a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply agreement, reports the Oils & Fats International on August 10.  Under the deal, Shell will supply the Lufthansa Group with SAF at airports worldwide starting 2024 for seven years, Shell said on August 01.  During the seven-year period, the supply could total up to 1.8 million tons, it added.
In contrast to most SAF supply arrangements, where the fuel is produced using one type of technology, Shell said the potential SAF supplied in the agreement would be produced by up to four different approved technology pathways using a range of sustainable feedstock.  The agreement contributed to Shell’s ambition of having at least 10% of its global aviation fuel sales as SAF by 2030 and on Lufthansa’s aim to drive the use of SFA as a core element of its sustainability strategy
