Ryanair to buy 500 more tons of green fuel from OMV in 2024

Friday, March 8, 2024

After acquiring 500 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from OMV last October, Ryanair has revealed today (March 8th) that it will procure an extra 500 tonnes of SAF from OMV in 2024. This arrangement is expected to result in a reduction of over 1,250 tonnes in CO2 emissions, roughly equivalent to approximately 100 Ryanair flights from Dublin to Vienna. As per the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Ryanair and OMV, Ryanair holds exclusive access to purchase up to 160,000 metric tonnes of SAF from OMV until 2030.

Ryanair’s Director of Sustainability, Tom Fowler, said:
“We’re delighted to be taking an additional 500 tonnes of SAF from OMV this year, in addition to the 500 tonnes we
agreed in October last. SAF plays a key role in our Pathway to Net Zero decarbonisation strategy in which we have
committed to increasing our use of over the coming years – a commitment that this deal with OMV will help move
further forward. OMV is a key partner for Ryanair in Austria, Germany and Romania and we look forward to growing
this partnership as Europe’s largest airline group.”
