Embraer has announced an agreement with Avfuel to increase its uptake of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (KMLB) to one load per week.
This extended partnership is expected to result in a total of 240,000 U.S. gallons of SAF delivered to Embraer this year – a significant increase compared to previous years. Also, each truckload will provide a 19 metric ton reduction in carbon emissions, resulting in a 570 metric ton reduction in carbon emission for the year. “Embraer’s collaboration with Avfuel and Sheltair marks a pivotal milestone in our journey toward net-zero emission flight operations,” said Michael Amalfitano, President and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “Our continued investment in SAF demonstrates our dedication to reducing emissions today and driving the industry closer to the net-zero aviation goal by 2050.”
