Qatar Airways has signed a deal with Shell to source 3,000 metric tons of neat Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Amsterdam Schiphol airport. It encompasses the existing jet fuel contract with Shell at Amsterdam which will now see Qatar Airways using at least a 5% SAF blend over the contract period for the fiscal year 2023-2024. The Qatar Airways bilateral agreement with Shell is part of a wider effort initiated by the oneworld alliance, which has a set target of using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for 10% of combined fuel volumes by 2030.
Qatar Airways will be reducing its emissions on flights from Amsterdam by approximately 7,500 tons of CO2 for the fiscal year.
Passengers and customers of Qatar Airways are able now to compensate for their flight emissions through the purchase of high-quality carbon credits, credited under International Civil Aviation Organization criteria. Qatar Airways currently invests in carbon credit projects that generate renewable energy, which help in reducing carbon emissions.
