The Australian Sustainable Aviation Fuel Partnership was signed by Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce and Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury in Doha yesterday, ahead of the IATA AGM.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas Group and Airbus invest up to US$200 million <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The landmark deal will see the Qantas Group<\/a> and Airbus invest up to US$200 million to accelerate the establishment of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry in Australia.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the shortage of a local commercial-scale SAF industry, Australia is currently exporting millions of tonnes of feedstock every year, such as canola and animal tallow to be made into SAF in other countries.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qantas Group, which has committed to operating 10 percent SAF in its overall fuel mix by 2030, is sourcing SAF overseas. This includes 15 percent of its fuel use out of London currently and 20 million liters each year for flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Australia from 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable fuels cut greenhouse gas emissions by around 80 percent compared to traditional kerosene and are the most significant tool airlines currently have to reduce their impact on the environment \u2013 particularly provided they can be operated in today\u2019s engines with no modifications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
