In Germany, the Lufthansa Group said it became the first European airline group to join the First Movers Coalition (FMC). FMC is a global initiative led by the World Economic Forum and the U.S. Department of State. Since its launch at COP26 in 2021, it has been bringing together countries and companies worldwide to jointly promote the development and deployment of sustainable technologies of the future. By joining the First Movers Coalition, the Lufthansa Group commits itself to the use of state-of-the-art and innovative aviation fuel and propulsion technologies. In this context, the Lufthansa Group is committed to covering at least 5% of its fuel requirements with SAF by 2030. Christina Foerster, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said: “We are proud to be the first European airline group to join the First Movers Coalition. This underpins our commitment to drive the development, market introduction and use of SAF. SAF is a central element of our CO2 reduction roadmap by 2030, which was validated by the independent Science Based Targets initiative.”
