Kuehne + Nagel and Lufthansa Cargo are promoting the use of synthetic sustainable aviation fuel by purchasing 25,000 litres annuallly from by atmosfair, an independent German non-profit organisation that offers offsets for greenhouse gases emitted by aircraft
Kuehne + Nagel is partnering with Lufthansa Cargo on a partnership for the promotion and use of synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce carbon output from air freight.
There are two main types of sustainable aviation fuel – bio SAF and synthetic SAF. The latter is derived by blending conventional kerosene with renewable hydrocarbon.
The logistics companies have committed to purchasing 25,000 litres of the fuel per year for the next five years and in doing so are helping to support production at the world’s first industrial site for SAF, which is in the German town of Werlte.
