In Colombia, La Republica reported that LATAM Airlines Colombia and the National Federation of Palm Oil Growers (Fedepalma) signed a cooperation agreement to work together to promote and develop sustainable aviation fuel, produced from raw materials such as palm oil.
The agreement will be valid for five years. The organizations have committed to developing joint initiatives that showcase the potential for producing SAF with criteria of sustainability, traceability, and economic viability. They will also participate in specialized events, design training spaces for decision-makers, visit technical operations, and create collaborative content on SAF.
Andrés Felipe García, Director of Sustainability and Market Access at Fedepalmas, said: “The Colombian palm oil sector has significant potential to contribute to the aviation energy transition. This partnership with LATAM allows us to connect the work we’ve done in agriculture with a shared vision of sustainability and productive transformation toward low-carbon products.”
