MUMBAI: Singapore Airways and Scoot of Singapore Airways (SIA) Group have turn out to be the primary airways working out of Singapore-Changi airport to obtain Sustainable Aviation Gasoline (SAF) produced in Neste’s refinery in Singapore. Each the airways will supply company flyers, shippers, cargo firms the choice to purchase offsets to assert environmental advantages.
Ranging from Might 2024, the SIA Group airways will supply 1,000 SAF `Ebook & Declare Items’ (BCUs) for buy by its company travellers, shippers, and freight forwarders, the airline mentioned. “Every BCU represents one tonne of neat SAF with its related carbon dioxide discount profit. Buying SAF BCUs permits company travellers, shippers, and freight forwarders to assert the related environmental advantages for flights associated to their enterprise journey and operations, validating the demand for SAF BCUs and supporting the event of the nascent SAF business,” it added. The Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) Ebook & Declare system, a trusted business customary, ensures the traceability and credibility of those transactions, it mentioned. “RSB is a worldwide membership organisation that drives the sustainable transition to a bio-based and round economic system. The Ebook & Declare system allows the decoupling of sustainability attributes from licensed SAF. The decoupled sustainability attributes can be utilized to generate SAF Ebook & Declare Items (BCUs), which might be transferred to a different account holder and retired in a strong and clear method,” mentioned SIA.
The SIA Group settlement with Neste entails the acquisition of 1,000 tonnes of SAF, produced at Neste’s refinery at Singapore Changi Airport. Neste will mix the SAF with standard jet gasoline and ship the blended jet gasoline on to Changi Airport’s gasoline hydrant system in two batches – as soon as within the second quarter of 2024 and as soon as within the fourth quarter of this yr, SIA mentioned in a press assertion. The mentioned SAF blended gasoline will meet the protection specs of the American Society for Testing and Supplies (ASTM), a global customary for standard jet gasoline high quality, it added. Blended with standard jet gasoline, it seamlessly integrates with current plane engines and fuelling infrastructure, it added.
“This milestone may even mark the primary direct provide of Neste’s SAF to airways at Changi Airport, reinforcing their end-to-end SAF provide chain capabilities in Singapore. This follows the completion of the growth of Neste’s Singapore refinery in Might 2023. The refinery has the capability to provide one million tonnes of SAF annually, making it the world’s largest SAF manufacturing facility,” it mentioned.
“Neste’s SAF, which is produced from 100% renewable waste and residue uncooked supplies, reduces greenhouse gasoline emissions by as much as 80% over the gasoline’s life cycle,” mentioned SIA. The 80% discount
of lifecycle carbon emissions is when SAF is utilized in neat (unblended) type and when the emissions are calculated with established life cycle evaluation (LCA) methodologies, such because the CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Discount Scheme for Worldwide Aviation) methodology. The mentioned calculation consists of each manufacturing and transport emissions.
Alexander Kueper, Vice President Renewable Aviation, Neste, mentioned: “We’re proud that Singapore Airways and Scoot are our first clients benefiting from our built-in provide capabilities into Changi Airport. This provide of regionally produced SAF to Changi Airport is a milestone in our journey of supporting the aviation business and governments within the area to attain their emissions discount targets. Singapore is a number one aviation hub within the Asia-Pacific area and this supply of SAF, in addition to the not too long ago introduced nationwide SAF goal, will hopefully encourage the broader adoption of SAF throughout the broader Asia-Pacific area. We’re trying ahead to increasing our cooperation with Singapore Airways in addition to supplying visiting carriers at Changi Airport.”
Lee Wen Fen, Chief Sustainability Officer, Singapore Airways, mentioned: “This settlement with Neste is a crucial milestone within the SIA Group’s journey to have a minimal of 5% sustainable aviation gasoline in our whole gasoline uplift by 2030. Shut collaboration with our companions and stakeholders, each in Singapore and globally, performs a crucial position in our long-term decarbonisation targets. A extra sustainable aviation business will be sure that future generations proceed to learn from the worldwide connectivity, financial prosperity, and folks hyperlinks that air journey fosters.”
