Airbus and TotalEnergies Sign a Strategic Partnership in Sustainable Aviation
Fuel

 

Airbus and TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) have signed a
strategic partnership to meet the challenges of aviation decarbonization with
sustainable aviation fuel.

In line with the objective of achieving net carbon neutrality of aviation by
2050, this partnership aims to contribute to the reduction of the sector's CO2
emissions, in which Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) play a key role. SAF
supplied by TotalEnergies can reduce up to 90% CO2 emissions over lifecycle
compared to their fossil fuel equivalent.

The partnership will cover two main areas:


 * TotalEnergies will supply Airbus with sustainable aviation fuel for more than
half of its needs in Europe.

 * A research and innovation programme aimed at developing 100% sustainable fuels
tailored to the design of current and future aircraft. The impact of the
composition of sustainable aviation fuels on the reduction of CO2 emissions
and non-CO2 effects, such as contrails, will also be studied.

Airbus and TotalEnergies confirm their common ambition to promote SAF
technology and to strengthen their collaboration to decarbonize the aviation
industry:


 * TotalEnergies has been supplying the SAF used by Airbus for its aircraft
deliveries in Toulouse since 2016.

 * TotalEnergies also supplied the fuel for several first SAF flights with Airbus
aircraft:


 * In May 2021, the 1st long-haul flight using French-produced SAF with an A350
between Paris and Montreal.

 * In November 2021, the first flight of a H225 helicopter, from the "Super Puma"
family, using 100% SAF.

 * In March 2023, the first A321neo flight with 100% SAF.

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, said: "The development
of sustainable aviation fuels is at the heart of our Company's transition
strategy. We are happy to form a strategic alliance with Airbus to play our
part in meeting the challenge of aviation decarbonization together.
TotalEnergies has been working hard to respond to the sector’s new demand
for a reduced carbon footprint. Our Company has set itself a target of 1.5
million tons of annual SAF production by 2030.”

Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO, said: "Accelerating the deployment of sustainable
aviation fuels is essential if we are to meet our targets for reducing carbon
emissions from aviation by 2030. This partnership between Airbus and
TotalEnergies demonstrates the willingness of aerospace manufacturers and
major energy producers and suppliers to work together to meet this challenge.
We are determined to meet our decarbonization targets and ensure that aviation
can continue to play its valuable role for society in the future."
