First SAF supply agreement for an express cargo carrier at Paris CDG

A SAF supply agreement over 5 million liters of SAF signed with TotalEnergies for DHL Express air operations marks the first of its kind for an express cargo carrier at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG).

DHL has entered a renewable one-year partnership with TotalEnergies to fuel aircraft departing from its CDG hub with SAF.

This initial phase covers 5 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel over the course of one year and the first DHL aircraft powered with SAF took off today from CDG.

“TotalEnergies is fully committed to supporting the aviation sector in reducing its carbon footprint. Sustainable Aviation Fuels are a key lever for reducing aviation emissions today. They contribute both to our customers’ decarbonization efforts and to the industrial transformation of our refineries. This agreement with DHL strengthens our partnership and reflects our shared determination to accelerate the development and adoption of SAF. SAF represents a genuine growth industry that supports the energy transition of both aviation and industry,” Mathieu Soulas, Director of New Mobilities at TotalEnergies, said.
