Global jet fuel supplier Avfuel has expanded its supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to three French airports.
The SAF supply agreements at Paris Le Bourget Airport (LBG), Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (BOD) and Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport (CFE), meant operators could purchase SAF at all three locations via the Avfuel Contract Fuel programme, the company said on 28 May.
“We’re a global company, so expanding SAF access to our customer base beyond North America’s borders has been a … focus for our team,” Avfuel’s executive vice president CR Sincock II said.
Avfuel’s SAF supply, produced in France, averages a blend ratio of 30% SAF to 70% traditional jet fuel. Made from a tallow feedstock, the fuel in its concentrated form provided up to a 90% reduction in carbon emissions across its lifecycle, the company said.
Avfuel said it had also made investments in new fuel technology companies, such as Alder Renewables, which is focused on producing SAF from woody biomass.
The company provides fuel and services to the global aviation industry and supplies 17 airports and fixed base operators (FBOs) in the USA. Its global network includes more than 3,500 locations worldwide.
