NEW DELHI: Air France-KLM Group Monday announced that Tata Communications has joined its corporate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) program to promote and develop the use of this fuel type. Tata Communications is the first global corporate from India to join this program which actively supports the transition to SAF and will therefore contribute to the reduction of the CO2 emissions generated by aviation, AF-KLM said.
While SAF considered the most decisive ways of reducing CO2 emissions in the aviation industry, its production is currently very limited. SAF represented about 0.1% of the global jet fuel use in 2022. The corporate SAF program allows Air France-KLM to partner with organisations to accelerate the production and usage of SAF. SAF projects selected by Air France-KLM reduce CO2 emissions by at least 75% compared to conventional jet fuel on a lifecycle basis.
