SOCAR Turkey and Turkish Airlines have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate on the development and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marking a strategic step toward greener energy and aviation practices, reports Biofuels International.
The signing ceremony was attended by senior executives from both organisations. The agreement extends the existing partnership on jet fuel supply into the SAF field and lays the groundwork for broader projects supporting regional sustainability goals.
Elchin Ibadov, CEO of SOCAR Turkey, said sustainability is one of the company’s top priorities. “With the advanced technologies at STAR Refinery, our strong production capacity, and ongoing R&D efforts, we are well positioned to produce the fuels of the future, not just today’s fuels,” he said.
SOCAR Turkey said it will continue to drive sustainability-focused partnerships in Türkiye and Azerbaijan, contributing to the transformation of the energy and aviation sectors.
