In Spain, Cepsa and Air Europa have sealed an alliance whereby the energy company will supply 14.4 tons of sustainable aviation fuel to the airline for one year to cover the first monthly Madrid-Havana flight.
This is the first time that two companies in Spain have established a regular supply of this sustainable fuel for a specific air route, Cepsa said
During the period of collaboration between Cepsa and Air Europa, the emission of around 50 tons of CO2 will be avoided.
The trips, which will feature 2% SAF in aircraft tanks, will serve as a test run ahead of the targets set by the European Union in its “ReFuelEU Aviation” legislative initiative, developed to boost sustainability in the airline industry.
Cepsa produces second generation (2G) biofuel at its La Rábida Energy Park in Palos de la Frontera from organic waste and used cooking oils.
