GERMANY's state-owned db Schenker has extended its portfolio of eco-friendly logistics solutions by opening a new chapter of greener transport in air freight, reports London's Biofuels International.
Customers can now choose sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for their air transport to anywhere in the world and independent of the type of aircraft or airline used.
DB Schenker only uses biofuel which is certified palm oil free, the company said.
SAF is a well-tested alternative fuel produced from renewable waste and residue raw materials such as used frying oil. The CO2 released during combustion in the engine is only the CO2 removed from the atmosphere during the photosynthesis phase of the plants employed to produce the oils SAF is refined from bio mass.
Said DB Schenker CEO Jochen Thewes: 'We are very proud of the game-changing pioneer project we started with our trusted partner Lufthansa Cargo.
Today, we take the next step by starting a global green air cargo network. We have purchased massive volumes of biofuel to push the decarbonisation of our industry.'
Customers, he said, can now book SAF on all trade lanes. This new flexibility is a success factor and good for the climate. Every ton of biofuel counts.'
