Shell signs SAF deal with DHL at Brussels airport
The 1-year partnership aims to drive sustainable air freight supply duties via pipeline to the airport.
Shell and DHL Express have signed a deal to drive sustainable air freight at Brussels Airport.
The 1-year partnership includes the delivery of 25 kt sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into Brussels via pipeline to the airport. The SAF used is expected to reduce GHG by 80 kt CO2e versus fossil jet-fuel and will be used to offer DHL Express customers emission reduced air transportation services via DHL GoGreen Plus.
"Beside efficiency improvements, SAF is currently the most important way to reduce GHG emissions in air transport. Customers can actively contribute to making their supply chains more sustainable by using our GoGreen Plus service based on SAF", says Travis Cobb, EVP Global Network Operations and Aviation at DHL Express.
Insetting through DHL Go Green Plus enables customers to reduce their Scope 3 emissions - the indirect GHG emissions generated in a company's value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution.
"By supplying SAF, we are equipping the industry – and our customers – with low carbon solutions that will support the transition toward sustainable aviation", added Raman Ojha, President at Shell Aviation.
