DHL Express Italy tests Eni Biojet sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
DHL Express Italy, a leader in the express air courier sector, SEA Group, which manages Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate airports, and Eni have signed an agreement to test Eni Biojet, a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) — 20% blended with JetA1 and produced exclusively from waste raw materials, animal fat and used vegetable oils — on 28 flights departing from Malpensa airport. DHL Express will be the first express air courier in Italy to use sustainable aviation fuel for its flights. It activated as many as 91 projects in 2022 through various initiatives across Italy that involve Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) themes, and is now closing the year with another major achievement, less than two years after the DPDHL Group launched its first test in San Francisco in 2020.
Milan Malpensa airport has already implemented a number of best practices in the areas of security, sustainability and efficiency, and is once again the starting point for this historic transitional phase. Inaugurated in March 2021, the DHL Express Hub at Malpensa has more than 1,100 employees with an average age of around 30 years, mostly from the surrounding areas, and handles an average of 70% of the tonnage transported between all Italian airports, with international outweighing domestic transport. Malpensa is the fourth largest transport hub in Europe and a strategic international hub which has seen 87% growth since 2020, from 30 to 56 flights a day.
By the end of 2022, 28 flights departing from Malpensa will be powered also by SAF produced by Eni in its Livorno refinery in partnership with Eni’s bio-refinery in Gela, whose plants process waste raw materials, animal fat, exhausted vegetable oils and oils from crops that do not compete with the food supply chain.
