Sustainable Aviation Fuel Agreements

EcoCeres extended its waste-based sustainable aviation fuel supply agreement with British Airways through the end of 2030. The fuel is expected to help the airline avoid approximately 198,000 tonnes of lifecycle carbon emissions compared with fossil jet fuel. Produced entirely from waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil, EcoCeres' SAF delivers lifecycle greenhouse gas reductions of up to 94.4% and serves as a drop-in fuel that requires no modifications to existing aircraft or airport infrastructure.

The avoided emissions are roughly equivalent to offsetting the carbon footprint of 341,000 round-trip economy-class seats between London and New York. The extension reinforces long-term supply visibility for British Airways as SAF demand accelerates alongside the aviation industry's broader net-zero transition.

The partnership shows how waste-based sustainable aviation fuel is evolving from a niche alternative into a scalable, long-term decarbonization pathway for commercial aviation.
