Enilive and easyJet sign two SAF supply agreements in Italy
London, December 03, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– Enilive, a company dedicated to mobility services and products, announces a new agreement with easyJet, Europe’s leading airline, to supply a number of flights from Milan Malpensa Airport with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
The SAF purchased by easyJet, which has a purity of 20% and is blended with conventional jet, enables the airline to meet its requirements for flights on its two new routes to Norway (Malpensa-Oslo and Malpensa-Tromsø) over the winter season. Furthermore, the airline will benefit from SEA’s SAF Support Program 2024, which has provided a contribution of €800/ton to carriers that use this fuel at Milan’s airports during the year, with a total value of €500,000.
Enilive and easyJet have also signed a Letter of Intent for a potential additional supply of about 30,000 tonnes of pure Enilive SAF at other Italian airports where the airline operates.
The agreement follows a series of recent commitments easyJet has made to help stimulate growth of the SAF market. Earlier this month the airline, alongside its partner Airbus, launched a new business travel solution that will explore corporate partnerships to finance the use of SAF with the goal of minimizing their economic impact and thus making this solution more affordable.
In addition, at the end of October easyJet formally joined Project SkyPower, CEO-led consortium aiming to accelerate the growth of the eSAF industry by helping unlock Final Investment Decisions for e-SAF projects in Europe.
SAF is a key tool, that is already available, to support the decarbonization path of aviation, and it will play an increasingly relevant role in the future. In its biorefineries in Italy, Enilive processes mainly waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil, animal fats, and agribusiness residues to produce SAF, which contains 100% biogenic component and is suitable to be blended with conventional jet up to 50%. From 2025, Enilive will reach a pure SAF production capacity of 400,000 tons/year, thanks to the imminent startup of the first plant in the Gela biorefinery, and thereafter the company will increase its SAF production to 1 million tons/year by 2026 with a further potential doubling by 2030.
