Singapore Airlines Inks Deal to Potentially Source Neat SAF from Aether Fuels

Leading airline company, the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has signed an agreement to potentially source neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from climate technology firm Aether Fuels, the Oils & Fats International reported on February 20.  Aether Fuels has announced plans to set up SAF production plants in the USA and Southeast Asia.

As part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the SIA Group has set out plans to secure neat SAF for five years when Aether plants begin commercial production, with an option for a five-year extension, the companies said in a joint press release on 4 February. 
            
Produced from waste carbon feedstock using Aether’s Aurora technology, the neat SAF would be blended with regular jet fuel and supplied to selected airports served by Singapore Airlines and the company’s budget subsidiary airline Scoot.  “This partnership marks another step in the SIA Group’s journey towards our long-term decarbonization goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” Singapore Airlines chief sustainability officer Lee Wen Fen said.
