In the past few years, we have announced our carbon net-zero by 2050 target and our goal of achieving 10% use of SAF by 2030. In doing this, we have built a robust SAF procurement strategy to help meet our goals. We are pleased that this agreement with Aemetis will contribute to that effort, and we hope it will also send the right signal to the SAF industry to encourage the much-needed investment and to scale up of its supply chain.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blended SAF to be supplied under this agreement is 40% SAF and 60% Petroleum Jet A-1 fuel to meet international blending standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SAF will be produced at the Aemetis Carbon Zero plant currently under development in Riverbank, California. The facility will use waste wood to produce cellulosic hydrogen and combine it with wastes and non-edible sustainable oils. It will then be converted into SAF using carbon-neutral hydroelectricity. It is scheduled to begin deliveries to Cathay Pacific in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF provides significant environmental benefits compared to petroleum jet fuel, including up to 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions on a lifecycle basis, depending on the technology used. It is a vital solution in the decarbonisation of aviation over the next few decades, especially for long-haul flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Cathay Pacific\u2019s Sustainable Development initiatives, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.cathaypacific.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/sustainability.cathaypacific.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG, 22 September 2022: Cathay Pacific has signed an offtake agreement with Aemetis to supply 38 million US gallons of blended Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to be delivered over seven years in 2025 from San Francisco International Airport.
