DSV and Google Cloud partner on sustainable aviation fuel

DSV has entered into a collaboration with Google Cloud to support the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in air freight operations, with the agreement covering up to 9.7 million litres of fuel and targeting a reduction of 25,000 tonnes of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional jet fuel.

The initiative focuses on a key air freight route used for Google Cloud shipments and will initially operate as a pilot project, providing a potential foundation for broader cooperation between the two companies on transport emissions.

According to DSV, the SAF used under the agreement is produced from waste and residue feedstocks and offers an 85% reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional fossil-based aviation fuel.

The collaboration comes as the logistics and aviation sectors seek to expand access to lower-emission fuels, although limited SAF availability remains a challenge to wider adoption.
