OMV and Airbus have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance the decarbonisation of the aviation industry through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The partnership aims to support the reduction of CO2 emissions in the aviation sector, with SAF playing a pivotal role in achieving the goal of net carbon neutrality by 2050.
OMV and Airbus will explore joint solutions to broaden the voluntary access to SAF for various customer groups, aimed at stimulating new demand and thereby supporting large-scale investments in new SAF production facilities.
Further, the companies will review opportunities to accelerate the testing, evaluation, and approval of new feedstocks, as well as new production pathways to make SAF available more quickly.
Since March 2022, OMV has been producing SAF at its Schwechat refinery in Austria by co-processing sustainable and locally sourced raw materials, such as used cooking oil.
OMV is already delivering SAF to several airlines at the Vienna airport and has signed agreements to deliver a cumulative total of 1.5 million tons of SAF by 2030.
In Romania, OMV Petrom made the final investment decision in June 2024 to build a SAF/HVO facility along with two green hydrogen facilities at the Petrobrazi refinery.
