In Ireland, Ryanair purchased 500 metric tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from OMV. This agreement will save over 1,250 tons in CO2 emissions (equivalent to c.100 Ryanair flights from Dublin to Vienna).
This purchase follows on from the MoU agreement made between the companies last year, providing Ryanair with unique access to purchase up to 160,000 metric tons of SAF from OMV up to 2030.
Ryanair has committed to its 12.5% SAF use by 2030 target, as well as the airline and OMV’s ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Ryanair has already significantly advanced these commitments by partnering with Trinity College Dublin to open the Ryanair Sustainable Aviation Research Centre, investing $22bn in its ‘Gamechanger’ fleet, which reduce CO2 emissions by 16% and a further $40bn investment for 300 Boeing 737 MAX-10 aircraft which reduce CO2 emissions by 20% while carrying 21% more passengers.
