Moeve and Air Nostrum, pioneers in the use of sustainable fuel (SAF) at Melilla Airport

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS]

Moeve continues to move forward with its commitment to the decarbonization of the aviation sector with the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Air Nostrum at Melilla Airport, becoming the first energy company to offer this biofuel in the autonomous city.

Specifically, all flights departing from this airport during October and November, all of which were operated by Air Nostrum, carried 30% of SAF supplied by Moeve. The amount of SAF is 15 times more than what European regulation will require as of 2025 under ‘ReFuelEU Aviation’, which establishes a minimum of 2%. Exolum, the storage operator at Melilla Airport, carried out the supply, ensuring an essential logistical component of supplying sustainable fuels to airlines.

SAF, produced by Moeve at its La Rábida Energy Park (Huelva) from used cooking oils, is a second-generation biofuel that can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% throughout its life cycle, compared to traditional kerosene.
