TotalEnergies and DHL Express have signed a one-year agreement for the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for flights departing from DHL Express’ hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in France, biofuels international reported.
The agreement marks the first time DHL Express will use SAF in France. It also makes the company the first express cargo operator to use the alternative aviation fuel at Paris-CDG.
Produced from waste and residues, SAF can help reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional jet fuel.
DHL estimates that the agreement could help avoid between 9,750 and 13,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions over the one-year period.
The partnership highlights TotalEnergies’ efforts to support customers in reducing the carbon footprint of air transport through the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels.
