In a significant step toward cleaner air travel, Mabanaft began supplying jet fuel and a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend at Frankfurt Airport in January 2025. The SAF, made from renewable sources, can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% over its life cycle. This move marks Mabanaft’s expansion into the German aviation sector, adding to its existing operations in the UK and Norway, reported Biomass Magazine.
Since the start of the year, Mabanaft has worked closely with aviation services partner Skytanking to ensure smooth and timely operations at Frankfurt. Early highlights include successful launches with major carriers such as Singapore Airlines and the Lufthansa Group.
“These partnerships highlight our goal to strengthen aviation fuel supply chains not only in Germany but across Europe,” said Simon Weiss, Head of Aviation at Mabanaft. “Our network of storage facilities across the country positions us well to deliver reliable service.”
Under the European SAF Mandate, Mabanaft plans to supply more than 1,000 tons of SAF at Frankfurt Airport in 2025. The initiative is part of the company’s broader strategy to support the shift toward more sustainable aviation by offering alternatives to traditional fossil fuels.
Mabanaft continues to offer a wide range of conventional fuel products while also investing in low-carbon alternatives, especially in industries where switching to electric power is difficult. The company aims to grow its role in sectors like aviation by using its strengths in fuel sourcing, storage, and distribution.
