Norwegian has partnered with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) provider Neste.

The collaboration enables the airline¡¯s corporate customers to reduce their CO2 emissions by up to 80 per cent.

Anders Fagernaes, vice president, sustainability for Norwegian, said: ¡°Accelerating the voluntary market for sustainable aviation fuel sends a signal to scale production and improve economies of scale, which is much needed to reduce costs.¡±

The carrier said it plans to blend in 0.5 per cent SAF on all fuel consumption in Norway and one per cent in Sweden and France as per government mandates. Voluntary purchases from corporate customers are in addition to these mandates.

Logistics business Scan Global Logistics has partnered with Norwegian and Neste as part of its bid to reduce emissions by 50 per cent every ten years, with emissions from business travel a priority.

Allan Melgaard, global CEO of the company, said: ¡°We want to be at the forefront of the transition. To do so we must adopt smart technologies when they become available. With this initial pilot we reduced our CO2 emissions from business travel in 2021 by ten per cent, which is the reduction we need for all emissions areas every year.¡±

Jason Reichow, vice president of business development, renewable aviation, Neste, added: ¡°With this solution, we are making real and direct emission reductions through the usage of SAF while making business travel more sustainable. As the end-to-end production and delivery process is audited by an independent, certified third party, these reductions can be used to meet Science Based Targets (SBTi), ensuring compliance and validating the emission reduction for the business which has made the investment in SAF.¡±
