Earlier this month, Menzies Aviation became the first aviation fuel services provider to sign up with Clean Skies for Tomorrow (CST), a coalition of airlines, airports, and oil companies that are aligning their individual efforts to achieve carbon-neutral flying.
Led by the World Economic Forum along with non-profit Rocky Mountain Institute and the Energy Transitions Commission, the group aims to increase the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from the current 0.1 percent to 10 percent of global jet fuel supply by 2030.
Menzies said its teams have already performed refuels of SAF on commercial flights in both the UK and US and are implementing management of change procedures for the receipt and handling of SAF at some fuel farm locations. The company is committed to becoming carbon neutral for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2033, Menzies’ 200th anniversary.
