Partnership Aims To Reduce Emissions Through Sustainable Aviation Fuel
American Airlines and Google have entered into a landmark sustainable aviation fuel agreement, covering 35 million gallons of fuel over three years. The deal, which represents the largest publicly announced SAF certificate agreement between an airline and a corporate customer, aims to reduce CO2e emissions by nearly 300,000 metric tons. American will purchase and use the fuel, while Google will receive the environmental benefits through a ‘book-and-claim’ system. The agreement was made possible in part by Illinois’ sustainable aviation fuel tax credit, supporting deliveries to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
