Airbus and TotalEnergies sign strategic partnership for sustainable aviation fuels
@Airbus @TotalEnergies #SustainableAviationFuel #sustainability
Paris, 21 February 2024 - Airbus and TotalEnergies have signed a strategic partnership to address the challenges of decarbonising aviation through sustainable aviation fuels.
In line with the objective of achieving net carbon neutrality of aviation by 2050, this partnership aims to contribute to the reduction of the sector's CO2 emissions, in which Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) play a key role. SAF supplied by TotalEnergies can reduce up to 90% CO2 emissions over their lifecycle compared to their fossil fuel equivalent.
The partnership will cover two main areas:
- The supply by TotalEnergies of sustainable aviation fuels for more than half of Airbus' needs in Europe.
- A research and innovation programme aimed at developing 100% sustainable fuels tailored to the design of current and future aircraft. The impact of the composition of sustainable aviation fuels on the reduction of CO2 emissions and non-CO2 effects, such as contrails, will also be studied.Airbus and TotalEnergies confirm their common ambition to promote SAF technology and to strengthen their collaboration to decarbonise the aviation industry:
- TotalEnergies has been supplying the SAF used by Airbus for its aircraft deliveries in Toulouse since 2016.
- TotalEnergies also supplied the fuel for several first SAF flights with Airbus aircraft:
- In May 2021, the 1st long-haul flight using French-produced SAF with an A350 between Paris and Montreal;
- In November 2021, the first flight of a H225 helicopter, from the "Super Puma" family, using 100% SAF;
- In March 2023, the first A321neo flight with 100% SAF.Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies, said: "The development of sustainable aviation fuels is at the heart of our Company's transition strategy. We are happy to form a strategic alliance with Airbus to play our part in meeting the challenge of aviation decarbonization together. TotalEnergies has been working hard to respond to the sector’s new demand for a reduced carbon footprint. Our Company has set itself a target of 1.5 million tons of annual SAF production by 2030".
Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO, said: "Accelerating the deployment of sustainable aviation fuels is essential if we are to meet our targets for reducing carbon emissions from aviation by 2030. This partnership between Airbus and TotalEnergies demonstrates the willingness of aerospace manufacturers and major energy producers and suppliers to work together to meet this challenge. We are determined to meet our decarbonisation targets and ensure that aviation can continue to play its valuable role for society in the future."

@Airbus @TotalEnergies #SustainableAviationFuel #sustainability
Paris, 21 fevrier 2024 - Airbus et TotalEnergies ont signe un partenariat strategique pour repondre aux enjeux de la decarbonation du secteur aerien grace aux carburants aeriens durables.
En ligne avec l’ambition de neutralite nette carbone du transport aerien d’ici 2050, ce partenariat vise a contribuer a la reduction des emissions de CO2 du secteur, dans laquelle les carburants aeriens durables (appeles egalement << Sustainable Aviation Fuel >> ou SAF) jouent un role essentiel. Les SAF fournis par TotalEnergies permettent de reduire jusqu’a 90% les emissions de CO2 sur l’ensemble du cycle de vie, en comparaison a leur equivalent fossile.
Le partenariat concerne deux principaux volets :
-
L’approvisionnement d’Airbus en carburants aeriens durables par TotalEnergies pour plus de la moitie de ses besoins en Europe.
- Un programme de Recherche & Innovation visant a developper des carburants 100% durables, en adequation avec le design des aeronefs actuels et futurs. L’impact de la composition de ces carburants durables sur la reduction des emissions de CO2 et des effets non-CO2 tels que les trainees de condensation, sera egalement etudie.Airbus et TotalEnergies confirment leur ambition commune de promouvoir la filiere SAF et renforcent leur collaboration pour decarboner le secteur aerien :
-
TotalEnergies fournit le SAF utilise par Airbus pour ses livraisons d’avions a Toulouse depuis 2016.
- TotalEnergies a egalement fourni le carburant ayant servi a des premiers vols SAF sur des avions Airbus :
- En mai 2021, le 1er vol long-courrier alimente avec du SAF, produit en France, sur un A350 reliant Paris et Montreal ;
- En novembre 2021, le 1er vol d’un helicoptere H225, de la famille ”Super Puma”, avec 100% de SAF ;
- En mars 2023, le 1er vol d’un A321neo avec 100% de SAF.
Patrick Pouyanne, President-Directeur general de TotalEnergies, a declare : << Le developpement des carburants aeriens durables est au cœur de la strategie de transition de notre Compagnie. Nous sommes heureux de former une alliance strategique avec Airbus pour contribuer a relever, ensemble, le defi de la decarbonation du secteur aerien. TotalEnergies se mobilise pour repondre a la nouvelle demande du secteur aeronautique de reduire son empreinte carbone. Notre Compagnie s’est fixee l’objectif de produire 1,5 million de tonnes par an de SAF a l’horizon 2030. >>.
Guillaume Faury, President executif d’Airbus, a declare : << L’acceleration du deploiement des carburants d’aviation durable est essentielle pour atteindre les objectifs de reduction des emissions carbone du transport aerien d'ici 2030. Ce partenariat entre Airbus et TotalEnergies temoigne de la volonte par les industriels de l’aeronautique et les grands acteurs de production et de fourniture d’energies de relever ce defi ensemble. Nous sommes determines a atteindre nos objectifs de decarbonation et faire en sorte que l’aviation puisse continuer a jouer son role precieux pour la societe dans l’avenir.>>

Aviation giant Airbus and energy corporation TotalEnergies have entered a strategic partnership aimed at reducing the CO2 emissions of the aviation sector through the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The two main facets of the partnership include TotalEnergies supplying SAF to meet over half of Airbus' European needs, and the establishment of a research and innovation programme to develop 100% sustainable fuels for current and future aircraft designs. This initiative aligns with the goal of achieving net carbon neutrality in aviation by 2050, potentially reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil fuels.
