Kuehne+Nagel teams with IAG Cargo on transatlantic SAF use

In the UK, Kuehne+Nagel will reduce emissions by purchasing eight million liters of sustainable aviation fuel. The delivery will be over 2022 and will remove approximately 18,300 metric tons of CO2, which is the equivalent of 350 British Airways flights between London and New York.

The SAF, manufactured from sustainable waste feedstocks, will be sourced from Phillips 66 Limited’s Humber Refinery in Lincolnshire, England – the first to produce SAF at scale in the UK. 

IAG Cargo first partnered with Kuehne+Nagel last year to power a charter chain of 16 flights from Stuttgart to Atlanta. Answering growing customer demand for environmentally friendly logistics, Kuehne+Nagel has been proactively expanding its sustainable services portfolio with innovative and easily customized shipping options. Kuehne+Nagel has so far sourced 21 million liters of SAF allowing its customers to benefit from immediately available alternative fuel solutions to reduce CO2 emissions of their air freight globally.
