Luxaviation has joined an organization called Project SkyPower that is seeking to accelerate the development and adoption of electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF). The Europe-based business aviation services group announced on Tuesday that it has lent its support to the initiative as part of its commitment to decarbonizing private aviation.
Project SkyPower is backed by CEOs from 15 aviation companies, including Airbus; airlines Air France KLM, EasyJet, and SAS; and energy groups including Arcadia eFuels and Technip Energies. Representation from the business aviation sector also includes private flight provider Victor.
Luxaviation is supporting the other companies in their lobbying efforts to shape the regulatory and industrial landscape being formed to support the availability of eSAF. The company said the work is part of wider efforts to support objectives such as United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including aviation’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon by 2050.
“eSAF has the potential to reduce life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional jet fuel, placing it as a critical component in the journey to net zero,” commented Nicola-Jane Sellers, Luxaviation Group’s head of sustainability. “Through our participation in SkyPower, we aim to advocate for and actively contribute to the aviation industry’s transition to electro-sustainable fuel, while embedding impactful and innovative decarbonization pathways through our operations.”
