easyJet

easyJet will have access to up to 150,000 tons of SAF (including up to 75,000 tons of e-SAF) from 2030.

easyJet, Braathens Renavia, in partnership with Mana Group and World Fuel Services (World Fuel), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding today for the long-term supply of sustainable aviation fuel for easyJet’s operations in Europe and the UK. The agreement supports the airline’s decarbonisation strategy and is expected to  give easyJet access to up to 150,000 tons of SAF (including up to 75,000 tons of e-SAF) from 2030.

The MoU is an important step toward developing new innovative SAF technologies to help lower the emissions impact of the aviation industry.

The SAF supplied by Braathens Renavia and Mana Group  is expected to be produced using gasification of biomass and solid waste, further enhanced with hydrogen generated from renewable energy sources. This production method is expected to deliver carbon abatement exceeding 90%, supporting the airline industry’s commitment to substantial carbon reductions. This production approach also underscores a commitment to a circular economy, harnessing solid waste and renewable energy for sustainable aviation solutions.

World Fuel, a World Kinect company, intends to manage logistics, blending, storage and regulatory fulfillment for the EU and UK mandates. World Fuel’s role in ensuring the seamless integration of SAF into easyJet’s supply chain represents the parties’ joint commitment to developing an efficient and compliant end-to-end sustainable aviation fuel supply chain.

easyJet’s Director of Tax & Fuel Strategy, Raminder Shergill, commenting on the agreement, said: “We are committed to supporting the growth of the SAF industry and delighted to have the opportunity to invest in e-SAF, which is expected to deliver as much as 90% lower emissions than conventional jet fuel, in support of our decarbonisation strategy.”

Per G. Braathen, founder of Braathens Renavia, said: “This agreement represents a pivotal step forward for Braathens Renavia and Mana Group in our shared mission to accelerate the availability of sustainable aviation fuel at scale. We are proud to work with partners like easyJet and World Fuel.”

World Fuel’s Senior Vice President (EMEA), Duncan Storey, said: “Our collaboration with easyJet and Braathens Renavia, underscores our commitment to increasing access to sustainable aviation fuel in the aviation industry. By managing logistics and regulatory compliance, we ensure the seamless integration of sustainable aviation fuel in the market, empower producers and connect sustainability-focused customers with innovative supply.”

As aviation moves toward a sustainable future, Braathens Renavia, Mana Group, easyJet, and World Fuel are proud to be at the forefront of this evolution.
