According to Reuters, Spain’s energy company Moeve has become the first external sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supplier to join Shell’s blockchain-based Avelia platform, aimed at expanding the use of SAF. Avelia, launched in 2022 in partnership with American Express Global Business Travel and Accenture, operates a “book-and-claim” system connecting airlines, fuel suppliers, and corporate customers. By mid-2025, the platform had facilitated the use of more than 41 million gallons of SAF across 17 airports.

Moeve produces SAF from used cooking oil at its La Rábida Energy Park and plans to expand total capacity to 800,000 tons per year by 2030. Despite growing decarbonization pressure on the aviation industry, global SAF scaling remains difficult. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates that SAF output will double to 2 million tons by 2025, representing only 0.7% of total jet fuel consumption.
