Travel Places creates SAF fund in partnership with British Airways

In the UK, British Airways said that group business travel specialists, Travel Places, is launching a new sustainable aviation fuel fund, providing an opportunity for its clients to address the carbon footprint from their business travel. Working in partnership with British Airways, Travel Places is now offering its clients the opportunity to purchase SAF, which is currently provided through the airline’s multi-year partnership with Phillips 66 Limited. The refinery, located near Immingham, uses waste cooking oil as the feedstock, and the SAF produced provides lifecycle emissions reductions of over 80% compared to traditional fossil-based jet fuel. By purchasing a percentage of SAF, Travel Places’ clients can address their carbon footprint and the Scope 3 emissions indirectly linked to their business travel. In turn, they will support further investment and the scale-up of SAF. Upon purchase, Travel Places clients will receive a certificate, followed by further certification once the SAF has been supplied. This is currently done via existing pipeline infrastructure feeding directly into London Heathrow through British Airways’ partnership with Phillips 66.
