Lufthansa Cargo and Best Services International Freight join forces to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel 🌱 Together with Best Services International Freight (BSI), we have agreed to reduce the Chinese logistics company's CO2 emissions associated with airfreight. BSI will invest in a total of around 137,000 liters of #SustainableAviationFuel (SAF) at #LufthansaCargo to offset the CO2 emissions caused by its flights. We signed the agreement on June 26 at this year's #TransportLogisticChina in Shanghai. "Best Services International Freight is our first customer in China to opt for the use of more than 100 tons of #SAF," said J. FLORIAN PFAFF, Head of Region Asia Pacific. "Examples like this help reduce our CO2 emissions and promote the use of SAF worldwide. Every customer who takes advantage of this opportunity is making a significant contribution to the decarbonization of logistics. The interest shows us that there is great potential for this, especially in Asia." "The cooperation with Lufthansa Cargo strengthens our partnership. As China's leading air cargo logistics company and an industry leader in the digitalization process, we combine progress with responsibility," said Dr. Wilson Wong Group CEO of BSI. "With limited SAF production globally, agreements like this are of paramount importance." SAF is a critical technology key to more sustainable flying and essential to the energy transition in aviation. Over its entire lifecycle, biogenic SAF has a CO2 footprint that is approximately 80% lower than that of conventional kerosene. SAF can be used in regular flight operations without any infrastructure adjustments.The SAF used by us is produced using the HEFA process, for example from used cooking oils. As only forestry, agricultural or catering waste is used, there is no conflict with food production. We offer SAF via the Lufthansa Group from the world's leading manufacturers. Since September 2021, all our customers have been able to have their freight transported more sustainably by opting for the "Sustainable Choice" add-on service. The Lufthansa Group and its companies are actively involved in the research and development of the next generation of sustainable aviation fuels. In numerous projects worldwide, the Lufthansa Group is currently working with partners from science and industry - from start-ups to established energy companies - on more SAF. We are pursuing a clear strategy for a more sustainable future and, together with the Lufthansa Group, have set ourselves ambitious climate protection targets: The Lufthansa Group aims to achieve a neutral CO2 balance by 2050 and to halve net CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 through reduction and compensation measures. In addition to SAF, more sustainable aviation also requires major efforts for a modern fleet and efficiency improvements in flight operations. Only in this combination can the change be successful in the long term. #EnablingGlobalBusiness #TogetherForSustainability

What an inspiring cross-industry collaboration! Logistics giant DHL Express announced today a new strategic partnership with UK-based international bank Standard Chartered to co-invest in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through DHL’s GoGreen Plus service, enabling Standard Chartered to balance its upstream logistics emissions with carbon credits. DHL’s GoGreen service provides shippers with the option of climate-neutral shipping through investments in internationally recognized climate protection projects to offset emissions generated during transport. GoGreen Plus aims to offer real emissions reductions through carbon “insetting,” enabling shippers to replace conventional fossil fuels with sustainable fuels or clean technologies, such as SAF.

The air freight industry is making significant strides in adopting sustainable techniques. There is a commitment to reducing environmental impact while ensuring efficient operations. #AirFreight #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/eeyTMmXU

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has unveiled the ‘Reassessing Single-Use Plastics Products in the Airline Sector' report, which aims to aid airlines, regulators, and the airline supply chain in mitigating the environmental impacts of single-use plastic products (SUPP).

Swissport commits to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 – a groundbreaking move towards a sustainable future. Transition pathway addresses Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions, aligning with Greenhouse Gas Protocol standards. President and CEO Warwick Brady emphasizes the importance of tackling climate change and making a meaningful contribution. Electrification of the ground support vehicle fleet at 300 airports worldwide is the backbone of Swissport's net-zero efforts. Plans to make at least 55% of the motorized fleet electric by 2032, with some locations already achieving 98% electric fleet renewal. Collaborating with airports to expedite infrastructure implementation, including charging stations. Near-term goal: Reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by a minimum of 42% by 2032. Comprehensive emission reporting, covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3, to track progress aligned with Greenhouse Gas Protocol standards. Participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) demonstrates commitment to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Pledging to submit and validate targets within the next two years, along with a disclosed transition pathway. Implementing key sustainability measures across operations, including ISO 14001-aligned environmental management. Say goodbye to plastic! Swissport aims to eliminate all plastic tableware at Aspire Airport Lounges by 2025. Recycling initiatives in air cargo centers: 100% of plastic foil collected is repurposed to wrap new pallets. Swissport's ambitious decarbonization goals were announced in September last year, marking a strategic commitment to sustainability.

There’s a lot of hype about this and it is a noteworthy achievement, let’s just be realistic on scalability though. ‘The real kicker is that even if all used cooking oils were traceable and sustainably sourced, they are not scalable. The US collects around 600,000 tonnes of used cooking oil each year. If every last drop were diverted to SAFs, it would meet at most 1% of America’s current aviation demand.’ #netzero #lowcarbon #reduceemissions https://lnkd.in/eq43HkzQ

Air cargo greatly makes trade easier. It allows for the growth of the economy on an international as well as local level. It is so because flying is not only safe but also a quick and cost-efficient approach when it comes to transporting goods by air. But in doing so, the air cargo industry produces a lot of pollutants, most of which is carbon dioxide. Industry thus has a significant carbon footprint. And this causes quite a huge impact on the environment. As people are becoming more aware of the need to take better care of the planet’s condition, they are demanding a sustainable approach. In order to satisfy consumers and meet their demand for sustainability, all industries are investing in better eco-friendly methods so that they can reduce their overall carbon footprint. #Aircargo #technology #economy https://lnkd.in/g__cufbY
