VINCI Airports Pioneering Sustainable Aviation Fuels in France
Key Ideas
- E-SAF produced from low-carbon hydrogen will be distributed in major French airports by 2030, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 86% compared to kerosene.
- VINCI Airports' strategy aligns with decarbonization goals, aiming for 'zero net emissions' by 2030 and offering Sustainable Aviation Fuels at various platforms.
- Initiatives include carbon modulation of landing fees, reduction of emissions from airport operations, promotion of sustainable transport, and passenger awareness on sustainable behavior.
- In the long term, VINCI Airports is involved in hydrogen projects, supporting the Clean Hydrogen Infrastructure Fund and contributing to the hydrogen economy.
VINCI Airports has entered a strategic partnership with H2V and Hy2gen to implement a sustainable synthetic fuels supply chain, focusing on e-SAF produced from low-carbon hydrogen. By 2030, this initiative will distribute e-SAF in Lyon-Saint Exupéry, Lyon Bron, and Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airports, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 86% compared to traditional kerosene. The project aligns with VINCI Airports' commitment to decarbonize the aviation sector, aiming for 'zero net emissions' by 2030 across its European operations. As a pioneer in Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), VINCI Airports already offers SAF at various airports and implements initiatives like carbon-based landing fees, emission reduction measures, and promoting sustainable transport options. Furthermore, the company engages passengers in sustainable practices and supports hydrogen projects for long-term sustainability. This partnership showcases VINCI Airports' dedication to air transport decarbonization and collaboration with industry players for a greener aviation future.
