easyJet, Braathens Renavia and World Fuel sign MOU to supply SAF in Europe and UK

In the UK, easyJet, Braathens Renavia, in partnership with Mana Group and World Fuel Services (World Fuel), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding 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.
