In Germany, DHL Express and World Energy have signed a long-term strategic agreement to accelerate the decarbonization of aviation logistics through the purchase of approximately 668 million liters of SAF via sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc).
The seven-year contract, to run through 2030, is one of the longest and largest SAFc agreements in the aviation industry to date, the firms said.
The agreement is expected to reduce approximately 1.7 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the aviation fuel lifecycle – this is equivalent to handling the approximately 77,000 annual aircraft movements of DHL Express in the Americas carbon neutrally for a full year.
John Pearson, CEO DHL Express, said: “By partnering with World Energy and confirming this milestone agreement, we are taking another concrete leap towards minimizing our carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future. We want to inspire more suppliers to accelerate industry-wide production and adoption of SAF.”
