TotalEnergies is actively responding to a call from its aviation customers to increase production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The company elaborated that by 2028 it will be able to produce half a million tons of SAF, which will be sufficient to cover the gradual increase in the European SAF blending mandate, set at 6% for 2030.

In addition, TotalEnergies aims to annually produce 1.5 million tons of SAF at manufacturing facilities in Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea by 2030, accounting for 10% of the global market at that time.

“TotalEnergies is taking action to meet the strong demand from the aviation industry to reduce its carbon footprint. Sustainable aviation fuel is essential to reducing the CO2 emissions of air transport, and its development is fully aligned with the Company’s climate ambition to get to net zero by 2050, together with society,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.
