In a move that underscores its commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction, OQ has partnered with DHL Express by joining the GoGreen Plus programme. This collaboration will see Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) used for DHL’s air cargo shipments to and from Oman—an important step towards achieving lower-carbon logistics solutions.
The partnership supports OQ’s broader objective of reaching carbon neutrality. SAF, made from renewable sources such as used cooking oil and sugarcane, offers a cleaner alternative to traditional jet fuel, with the potential to reduce carbon emissions by as much as 30 percent.
By becoming part of the GoGreen Plus initiative, OQ further positions itself as a forward-thinking energy company that integrates sustainability into every layer of its business. The programme itself has been recognised with a sustainability award, highlighting its contribution to greener global supply chains.
This latest development forms part of OQ’s wider environmental strategy, which includes a detailed decarbonisation roadmap, investment in clean energy technologies, modernisation of transport and logistics networks, and a focus on circular economy initiatives.
Earlier in 2024, OQ also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a global alliance to explore the commercial feasibility of producing sustainable fuels for both land and air transport within Oman. The study will evaluate the potential to establish production facilities that harness hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to manufacture electric fuels and SAF.
