WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Leading US airlines and Amazon.com’s aviation unit are joining an effort to accelerate the development and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to cut emissions from air transport.
The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) said Amazon Air, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue and United Airlines are joining the effort, which includes major corporate airline customers, to help drive SAF production increases, price reductions and advancements technological.
The Environmental Defense Fund and Rocky Mountain Institute launched SABA in April, with companies such as Boeing, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft
The White House said in September that it intended to reduce aviation emissions by 20% by 2030. Major US airlines supported a voluntary industry goal of using 3 billion gallons of SAF by 2030.
“By working together with other companies, we are demonstrating that there is a strong and growing demand for the rapid deployment of cost-effective sustainable jet fuels, which will help Amazon deliver on our commitment to achieving net zero carbon by 2040 ” said Sarah Rhoads, vice president of Amazon Global Air.
SABA also said that LiveNation and Meta, which owns Facebook, are joining the group.
Almost 2.5% of global emissions are a result of air travel. Despite the demand to reduce emissions, there is very little SAF in use.
