In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), ADNOC said its Ruwais Refinery has received International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC) for the production of sustainable aviation fuel, making it the first company in the Middle East to earn the distinction.
The ISCC EU/CORSIA PLUS “Co Processing” international certification enables ADNOC to supply its SAF to international airlines at Abu Dhabi Airport. The SAF is produced from used cooking oil feedstock that is blended with jet fuel at ADNOC’s Ruwais Refinery. The company noted that the first batch, enough to fuel a return 787-10 Dreamliner flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris, will be available later this month.
Sultan Al Bigishi, Acting-CEO of ADNOC Refining, said: “The development of sustainable aviation fuel is a key part of our strategy to deliver lower carbon fuels to our customers. We are committed to supporting the aviation industry’s effort to ramp-up the use of sustainable aviation fuel as one of the key pillars to decarbonize air travel.”
