Air France-KLM teams up with VINCI Energies Asia Pacific for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Tuesday, February 27, 2024

On February 5, 2024, the Air France-KLM group in Singapore confirmed VINCI Energies Asia Pacific’s participation in their Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) program.

Those in attendance at the announcement included Dora Lussiana, serving as the Environment Project Leader at VINCI Energies Asia Pacific & Middle East; Femke Kroese, holding the position of General Manager at Air France-KLM South East Asia & Oceania; and Jerome Guiral, who serves as the Managing Director of VINCI Energies Asia Pacific.

By joining the Air France-KLM Corporate SAF program, VINCI Energies Asia Pacific commits to purchasing Sustainable Aviation Fuel in 2024, corresponding to the CO2 emissions generated by their staff’s travels.

Femke Kroese, in her role as General Manager of Air France-KLM South East Asia & Oceania, voiced contentment regarding VINCI Energies Asia Pacific’s involvement, noting it as the second Singaporean company to join the initiative. She anticipates this collaboration will heighten awareness within Singaporean companies and foster global cooperation in promoting Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Notably, in 2023, 116 Corporate Air France-KLM SAF contracts were executed globally, culminating in the procurement of 11,000 tons of SAF.

The Air France-KLM Corporate SAF program offers a tailored approach based on a company’s sustainability goals. Depending on anticipated travel, the company’s contribution will fund the purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuel within agreed-upon calendar years.

Committed to reducing its environmental impact, Air France-KLM aims to lead in Sustainable Aviation Fuel adoption and support global SAF production capabilities. In 2023, it was the world’s largest SAF user, accounting for 16% of global production while consuming only 3% of kerosene production. The Group continues to secure future SAF supplies to achieve its target of incorporating a minimum of 10% SAF by 2030. It aims to reduce CO2 emissions per passenger/km by 30% by 2030 compared to 2019 through fleet renewal, increased SAF usage, and operational measures.
