E-Sustainable Aviation Fuel Adoption
Cargolux and Norwegian Air Shuttle have committed to sourcing e-sustainable aviation fuel (E-SAF) from Norsk e-Fuel post-2026. The offtake agreements exceed 140,000 tons, showcasing a significant dedication to sustainable aviation. Both airlines will strategically support two additional production facilities by 2030.
E-fuels, created by capturing carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide and combining them with hydrogen from water, fueled by wind, solar, and nuclear energy, are key to this initiative.
“The total volume of the offtake agreements signed by the two airlines covers more than 140,000 tons of fuel supply”
(Brett, 2024).
This commitment signifies a major step in the aviation
industry’s journey towards a sustainable future, with
Cargolux and Norwegian Air Shuttle leading the charge.
