EcoCeres Extends SAF Supply Agreement with British Airways Through 2030
EcoCeres has extended its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply agreement with British Airways through the end of 2030, reinforcing the two companies’ commitment to reducing aviation emissions.
Under the renewed deal, EcoCeres’ SAF is expected to help British Airways avoid approximately 198,000 tonnes of lifecycle carbon emissions compared with conventional jet fuel. This reduction is equivalent to offsetting the carbon footprint of around 341,000 round-trip economy-class seats on direct flights between London and New York.
Produced from 100% waste-based feedstocks, including used cooking oil (UCO), EcoCeres’ SAF can achieve lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reductions of up to 94.4% versus fossil jet fuel. As a drop-in fuel, it can be used in existing aircraft and airport fueling infrastructure without modification, making it one of the most practical solutions currently available for aviation decarbonization.
The agreement highlights the growing importance of long-term partnerships in supporting SAF market development and supply security as demand continues to rise. EcoCeres said it will continue expanding its production capacity and strategic collaborations to support the aviation industry’s transition toward net-zero emissions.
