EcoCeres signs 400,000 ton SAF offtake agreement with British Airways

In Hong Kong, EcoCeres announced the signing of a multi-year agreement to supply British Airways with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This strategic partnership is expected to help the UK’s flagship carrier reduce lifecycle carbon emissions of approximately 400,000 metric tons, compared with use of the same volume of conventional jet fuel. This reduction is equivalent to the total emissions of flying ~240,000 economy class passengers on return flights between London and New York.

As part of its sustainability roadmap, British Airways has committed to powering 10% of its flights with SAF by 2030 (the UK government has since set a SAF Mandate). EcoCeres will provide SAF produced from 100% waste-based biomass feedstock, such as used cooking oil (UCO). This SAF has the potential to provide a lifecycle carbon reduction of up to 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces.
