Avfuel is developing a new sustainability program aimed at helping flight operators effectively manage and reduce their carbon emissions. Currently in beta test, Avfuel Zero will offer users a comprehensive solution for seamlessly measuring, mitigating, auditing, and reporting carbon emissions.
“With Avfuel Zero, we’ll be taking the complication out of sustainable aviation operations,” explained C.R. Sincock II, the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company’s executive v-p. “As the entity that directly provides sustainable solutions to operators, we’re uniquely qualified to help them identify what their emissions reduction needs are, how to meet those needs, and how to report them.”
It is the latest in the company’s sustainability initiatives, which include investing in a variety of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstocks and processes such as HEFA, alcohol-to-jet, power-to-liquid, and biomass, as well as hydrogen, hybrid, and electrification.
For NBAA-BACE, the fuel company provided additional supplies of SAF produced by Neste to Textron Aviation and Embraer so their static display aircraft could fly to Las Vegas more sustainably. While the two OEMs regularly receive SAF for their operations, Avfuel worked with them to make sure they had ample supplies for their BACE flights, including timing Embraer’s scheduled delivery to just before the show, and adding an extra truckload to Textron’s usual order.
In addition, at the show, Avfuel announced the Atlantic Aviation FBO at California’s Stockton Metro Airport as its 14th location to receive continual supplies of SAF.
“As a fuel supplier, we take our responsibility to further sustainable initiatives incredibly seriously,” said Sincock. “We will continue to look for opportunities to make [SAF] more accessible for greater use across business aviation, helping our industry achieve its goal to attain net-zero emissions by 2050.”
