provided around 29 tons of the sustainable bio-fuel for the flight. The SAF, which is made in Normandy, comprises a mix of waste materials, including used cooking oil and other fats. As such, it results in 90 percent less particulate matter and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80 percent.This is the third Airbus aircraft model to hit the skies on 100 percent SAF in the past 12 months, following an A350 in March 2021 and an A319neo in October 2021.
Currently, the entire Airbus fleet is certified to fly with up to a 50 percent blend of SAF mixed with kerosene. The company’s aim is to achieve certification of 100 percent SAF by the end of this decade to help meet the industry’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.The experts agree that the bio-fuel will be a big help, too. The recent Waypoint 2050 report predicts SAF could contribute between 53 percent and 71 percent of the required carbon reductions.
