What is Sustainability?

Sustainability was defined as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” by the United Nations in 1987.

Without sustainability Earth’s ecosystems will not be able to function, eventually resulting in a huge loss in animal species, irreversible damage to the atmosphere and total loss of fossil fuels.

What Can We Do?

What is SAF Made From?

SAF can be produced from a range of sources, some of which are waste oil, agricultural waste and wet wastes (manure and wastewater treatment sludge).

SAF currently has to be mixed with up to 50% of traditional jet fuel, but airlines hope to be able to increase SAF to 100% renewable sources by 2030.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Book and Claim

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is jet fuel that is produced from various renewable sources instead of the traditional fossil fuel sources, and can reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by up to 80%.

Book and claim is a system where the record flow of a product doesn't correlate to the physical flow of a product. In the Aviation industry this allows customers to claim the sustainability benefits of using SAF without flying on a plane powered by SAF.

SAF is available at limited locations, so delivering SAF to other locations can be expensive and can contribute to Carbon emissions. Using a book and claim system allows SAF to be used at the available locations, whilst sustainability benefits are claimed from customers in another location.
