Boeing is making significant strides in sustainability by announcing its largest annual purchase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to date, totaling 9.4 million gallons (35.6 million liters). This initiative is part of Boeing’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and supporting the growth of the SAF industry globally.
“As our focus remains on safety and quality, sustainability continues to be a priority,” said Ryan Faucett, vice president of environmental sustainability, Boeing. “Sustainable aviation fuel is essential to decarbonize aviation. About 20% of our fuel usage is a SAF blend, and we continue to increase our use of this fuel to encourage growth in the SAF industry. We are also working to make SAF more available and affordable to our commercial airline customers through collaboration, investment, research and policy development,” he further added.
Moreover, Boeing is acquiring the CO2 emissions reduction equivalent to 5.4 million gallons of blended SAF through a process called book-and-claim. In this approach, companies purchase SAF certificates to offset conventional jet fuel consumption.
