DHL Express pioneers sustainability with the SAF biofuel

The benefits offered by SAF 

Building on the environmental imperative that underscores the critical shift towards more sustainable practices in logistics, our embrace of SAF emerges as a cornerstone of our commitment to green transportation. This commitment yields a broad spectrum of benefits, which are as follows:

• Dramatic reduction in Carbon Emissions: SAF's utilisation leads to an up to 80% decrease in CO2 emissions throughout its lifecycle compared to traditional aviation fuels, marking a significant stride in our collective effort to combat climate change.
• Sustainable and diverse sources: Derived from a variety of renewable feedstocks, including waste oils, greases, and agricultural residues, SAF ensures sustainable production without encroaching upon food supplies or necessitating additional land or water resources.
• Promoting a circular carbon economy: The production of SAF embodies a circular economy approach, recycling carbon absorbed during biomass growth, in stark contrast to fossil fuels, which release carbon sequestered for millennia, exacerbating global CO2 levels.
• Alignment with global sustainability ambitions: Embracing SAF aligns with the aviation industry's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, positioning DHL Express as a frontrunner in the sustainable future of logistics.

These benefits highlight SAF's crucial role in not only addressing environmental imperatives but also in offering a viable, impactful solution for the logistics sector.
