Lufthansa Cargo has signed a pact with Chinese forwarder Best Services International Freight for around 137,000 liters of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to offset CO2 emissions
“Best Services International Freight is the German carrier’s first customer in China to opt for the use of more than 100 tons of SAF,” said head of region Asia Pacific, Florian Pfaff. “Every customer who takes advantage of this opportunity is making a significant contribution to the decarbonization of logistics. The interest shows us that there is great potential for this, especially in Asia.”
Over its entire lifecycle (production, delivery, combustion in the engine), biogenic SAF has a CO2 footprint that is approximately 80 percent lower than that of conventional kerosene. It can be used in regular flight operations without any infrastructure adjustments and is currently produced mainly from biogenic residues.
