Airbus and TotalEnergies have signed a strategic partnership to fulfill the challenges of aviation decarbonization with sustainable aviation gas.
In keeping with the target of attaining web carbon neutrality of aviation by 2050, this partnership goals to contribute to the discount of the sector’s CO2 emissions, through which Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) play a key function. SAF provided by TotalEnergies can cut back as much as 90% CO2 emissions over lifecycle in comparison with their fossil gas equal.
The partnership will cowl two predominant areas:
- TotalEnergies will provide Airbus with sustainable aviation gas for greater than half of its wants in Europe.
- A analysis and innovation programme aimed toward growing 100% sustainable fuels, tailor-made to the design of present and future plane. The affect of the composition of sustainable aviation fuels on the discount of CO2 emissions and non-CO2 results, reminiscent of contrails, may also be studied.
Airbus and TotalEnergies affirm their frequent ambition to advertise SAF know-how and to strengthen their collaboration to decarbonize the aviation business:

- TotalEnergies has been supplying the SAF utilized by Airbus for its plane deliveries in Toulouse since 2016.
- TotalEnergies additionally provided the gas for a number of first SAF flights with Airbus plane:
- In Might 2021, the 1st long-haul flight utilizing French-produced SAF with an A350 between Paris and Montreal.
- In November 2021,the primary flight of a H225 helicopter, from the “Tremendous Puma” household, utilizing 100% SAF.
- In March 2023, the primary A321neo flight with 100% SAF.
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, stated:
The event of sustainable aviation fuels is on the coronary heart of our Firm’s transition technique. We’re pleased to kind a strategic alliance with Airbus to play our half in assembly the problem of aviation decarbonization collectively.
“TotalEnergies has been working laborious to answer the sector’s new demand for a lowered carbon footprint. Our Firm has set itself a goal of 1.5 million tons of annual SAF manufacturing by 2030.”
Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO, stated:
Accelerating the deployment of sustainable aviation fuels is important if we’re to fulfill our targets for lowering carbon emissions from aviation by 2030.
“This partnership between Airbus and TotalEnergies demonstrates the willingness of aerospace producers and main power producers and suppliers to work collectively to fulfill this problem. We’re decided to fulfill our decarbonization targets and be certain that aviation can proceed to play its useful function for society sooner or later.”
TotalEnergies and Sustainable Aviation Fuels
TotalEnergies is growing Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). These are biofuels produced from waste and residues from the round financial system (animal fat, used cooking oils, and so forth.) and “e-jets”, artificial fuels for aviation. These sustainable aviation fuels will considerably cut back CO2 emissions from air transport.
