Shell to produce low-carbon jet fuel at scale by 2025
Royal Dutch Shell, one of the world's largest oil traders, will begin producing low-carbon jet fuel at scale by 2025, with an aim to produce 2 million tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by then.
The fuel will be produced from waste cooking oil, plants and animal fats, SAF could cut up to 80 percent of aviation emissions, they explained.
Shell said it wants green jet fuel, which can be blended with regular aviation fuel, to make up 10 percent of its global aviation fuel sales by 2030.
“Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could make up more than half of the 820,000-tonnes-a-year capacity, with the rest being renewable diesel. Shell can adjust this mix to meet customer demand,” said the company in a statement.
The company announced on Thursday that it plans to build a biofuels facility in the Netherlands to help achieve its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Shell has previously said it aims to reduce the production of traditional fuels by 55 percent by 2030 and provide more low-carbon fuels such as biofuels for road transport and aviation, and hydrogen.
