SWISS teams up with Metafuels to further promote SAF
In Switzerland, Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has concluded a new collaboration with the Swiss-based Metafuels SAF technology company. The partners said they aim to jointly promote the development and scaling-up of viable SAF solutions. The collaboration should help SWISS secure long-term access to synthetic fuels and make further progress towards lower-emissions aviation, while also investing in Switzerland as an innovation hub.
SWISS noted that the new partnership is intended to drive and promote the further development and the bringing to market of viable SAF solutions. SWISS and the Lufthansa Group are also considering committing long-term to SAF procurement contracts, not least in view of the new synthetic fuel additive quotas that are scheduled to be adopted in Switzerland and throughout the European Union from 2030 onwards.
“Future availability of sustainable fuels at sufficient scale will only be possible if investments in technologies and partnerships are made today. That is exactly what we are doing with Metafuels,” said Jens Fehlinger, CEO of SWISS. “We do not want to wait on the sidelines, but actively contribute to making synthetic fuels market-ready and scalable. At the same time, this partnership helps secure long-term access to these solutions.
