British Airways will become the first airline to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced on a commercial scale in the UK.
The carrier announced it will fly planes using the lower carbon fuel from early next year.
The SAF will be produced at Phillips 66’s Humber Refinery, near Immingham, Lincolnshire, using renewable foodstocks such as waste fats, oils and greases.
British Airways has agreed to purchase enough of the fuel to reduce its lifecycle CO2 emissions by nearly 100,000 tonnes, which could power the equivalent of 700 net-zero flights between London and New York.
