Lufthansa Cargo, Maersk partner to use SAF  

Lufthansa Cargo and Maersk have signed an agreement to promote the decarbonization of airfreight with SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). It will use 400 metric tonnes of SAF on behalf of Maersk in the remainder of 2024. The expected cut down of CO₂ emissions corresponds to at least 1,200 metric tonnes. “SAF is a decisive technological key to more sustainable flying and essential for the energy transition in aviation. With Maersk we are jointly making a valuable contribution with the new agreement. At the same time, more sustainable flying also requires major efforts for a modern fleet and increased efficiency in flight operations. It is only through this interplay that change can be achieved sustainably,” Ashwin Bhat, CEO, Lufthansa Cargo, said.
