Today the aviation sector faces arguably its biggest challenge yet - how to fly sustainably and help the world on its journey to net-zero emissions. Shell Aviation is committed to collaborating with industry partners, in the same way it worked with aviation’s first pioneers, to meet this challenge and help enable a sustainable tomorrow.
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), made from waste and renewable sources, is seen as one of the most promising ways for the aviation industry to cut emissions. Shell is working with partners from right across the industry and all around the world to accelerate SAF production and use today.
Synthetic kerosene, produced by combining captured carbon with hydrogen made from water and renewable power, could have the potential to play a major role in decarbonising aviation. Shell helped bring this prospect closer in 2021 by partnering with KLM and the Dutch Government on the first flight to be powered by this exciting fuel of the future.
Shell and Qatar Airways team up for the first passenger flight using certified synthetic fuel.
Roll out of electric pump refuelling trucks helps avoid emissions on the ground.
