The move is part of Airbus’ broader strategy to reduce its carbon footprint and support the aviation industry’s transition towards more sustainable practices. By incorporating SAF at all of its manufacturing sites, Airbus is not only cutting down on its own emissions but also demonstrating the potential for SAF to play a key role in decarbonizing the aviation sector.
The A220 Mirabel facility, known for producing Airbus’ A220 aircraft, is the newest site to integrate SAF into its daily operations. This aligns with Airbus’ long-term goals to ensure that all its production facilities, from assembly lines to research and development sites, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
SAF, derived from renewable sources like waste oils and biomass, offers a more sustainable alternative to conventional jet fuel, providing up to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions over its lifecycle. By adopting SAF across its operations, Airbus is helping to advance the use of these sustainable fuels within the aerospace industry, which is crucial as the world seeks to meet ambitious climate targets.
With all Airbus sites now using SAF, the company continues to lead by example in the global push for greener aviation practices. The shift to SAF at its Mirabel facility underscores Airbus’ commitment to sustainability and highlights the potential for the widespread adoption of SAF in reducing the environmental impact of aircraft production and operations.
All global Airbus sites have now transitioned to using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for their internal operations, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to sustainability. The latest addition to this initiative is Airbus’ A220 Mirabel facility in Canada, which has officially begun using SAF in its operations.
