Aircraft maintenance plan provider JSSI is aligning with industry fuel distributor Avfuel to help its clients meet their environmental sustainability goals. In addition to offering an online carbon dioxide calculator to estimate emissions and adding a simple option to purchase carbon offset credits on its online customer portal, JSSI will have resources available to facilitate the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through Avfuel.

Produced from biomatter and residual wastes by Neste, the blended SAF offers lifecycle carbon-reduction benefits over conventional jet fuel. Currently approved for use at blends of up to 50 percent, SAF if used in its neat form can deliver up to 80 percent less greenhouse gas emissions.

“The Avfuel team admires JSSI’s dedication to helping clients cut carbon emissions,” said Craig Sincock, the Michigan-based fuel company’s president and CEO. “We are proud to collaborate to provide efficient tools that make a proven difference in sustainability.”

“With approximately 10 percent of the world’s business aviation fleet enrolled on JSSI maintenance programs, we aspire to have a meaningful impact on our industry objective of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050,” said JSSI chairman and CEO Neil Book. “As research and technology continue to advance, we intend to explore many other innovative paths towards decarbonization.”
