In Austria, OMV and Airbus have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance the decarbonization of the aviation industry through SAF. Under the agreement, OMV and Airbus will explore joint solutions to broaden the voluntary access to SAF for various customer groups, aimed at stimulating new demand and thereby supporting large-scale investments in new SAF production facilities. Further, the companies will review opportunities to accelerate the testing, evaluation, and approval of new feedstocks, as well as new production pathways to make SAF available more quickly. In addition, both partners commit to jointly raising awareness and understanding of SAF, acknowledging the significant role that regulations and policy play in the transition to renewable fuels. “Transformative partnerships across the aviation value chain are crucial for building a robust SAF industry and accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future. Our partnership with Airbus underscores OMV’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and excellence. We are proud to lead on this journey, driving progress and creating a lasting positive impact on both the aviation industry and the environment. SAF is a cornerstone of OMV’s Strategy 2030 and our path to climate neutrality,” said Martijn van Koten, Member of the Executive Board and Executive Vice President Fuels & Feedstock, OMV AG.
