SAF One Energy Management Limited, a leading developer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Airbus through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel across the global aviation sector, supporting the industry’s decarbonization objectives, according to the press release.
The partnership will focus on driving SAF utilization in the UAE and beyond, leveraging joint advocacy efforts to promote the benefits and adoption of SAF. By working together, SAF One and Airbus aim to address the aviation industry’s pressing need for sustainable fuel alternatives.
Mounir Kuzbari, Director and Co-Founder of SAF One, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are excited to partner with Airbus to further the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel. This partnership will enable us to engage with airlines more effectively, encouraging the use of SAF produced by SAF One’s facilities. By combining our networks and expertise, we can better meet the rising demand for SAF and support the industry’s transition to greener practices.”
