Avfuel Corporation, a leading supplier of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), has expanded its supply globally to three French airports.
With SAF supply agreements at Paris Le Bourget Airport (LBG), Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (BOD) and Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport (CFE), operators can now choose to fuel in a way that significantly reduces their flight’s lifecycle carbon emissions.
Avfuel’s customers can consistently purchase SAF at all three locations via its Avfuel Contract Fuel program.
“Providing meaningful opportunities to reduce carbon emissions is incredibly important to Avfuel and, increasingly so, to its customers,” said C.R. Sincock, II, Avfuel’s executive vice president. “We’re a global company, so expanding SAF access to our customer base beyond North America’s borders has been a tremendous focus for our team.”
The provision of SAF in France provides an important opportunity for operators across the globe to fuel smarter and cleaner when traveling for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Avfuel’s SAF supply, produced in France, averages a blend ratio of 30% SAF to 70% traditional jet fuel.
Made from a tallow feedstock, like used cooking oils, the fuel in its concentrated form provides up to a 90% reduction in carbon emissions across its lifecycle.
This is comparable to Avfuel’s SAF supply in the U.S., which means a 4,000-litre uplift of the blend in a large business jet would create approximately a 2.5 metric ton reduction in carbon emissions.
That reduction provides the same environmental benefit as recycling 109 bags of waste instead of placing them in a landfill.
“We’re incredibly active in the sustainable aviation fuel market and are proud to be a top supplier to business aviation operations,” said Sincock. “At the same time, our team understands there’s much work yet to be done—to help foster wider adoption of the fuel, we’re always looking for ways to grow both SAF access and production. Our SAF expansion into the European market reflects that focus.”
Avfuel’s SAF availability in France is in addition to consistent supply at 17 airports and FBOs in the United States, along with robust supply to numerous OEMs and corporate flight departments.
