Air France-KLM Ramps Up Its SAF Offtake Agreement with TotalEnergies, Which Will Supply Up to 1.5 Million Tons of More Sustainable Aviation Fuel Over a 10-Year Period
TotalEnergies and Air France-KLM have signed a significant agreement for the supply of up to 1.5 million tons of more sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over a 10-year period, extending until 2035. This is one of Air France-KLM's largest SAF purchase contracts. In 2022 and 2023, Air France-KLM led global SAF usage, representing 17% and 16% of total production. The agreement builds on a 2022 MoU for 800,000 tons of SAF, aiming to curb the environmental impact of air transport. Air France-KLM targets a 30% reduction in CO₂ emissions per passenger/km by 2030, incorporating at least 10% SAF in all flights. The SAF will be produced in TotalEnergies' French and European biorefineries, using waste and residues. TotalEnergies is investing heavily in SAF production, with significant projects in Grandpuits, Normandy, and La Mède. This partnership underscores the commitment to the energy transition and Europe's energy independence.
