Up to 220 aircraft with biofuel made with olive pits They will fly from Seville. This will be the first airport in southern Europe to use this product to create this sustainable fuel.
Several flight companies, along with Cepsa, have come together to a common goal: “800 thousand tons will be specifically sustainable aviation fuel,” explains Carlos Barrasa, director of Cepsa’s new business.
Thus, 200 planes will fly more than 400 thousand kilometers in our country to test this fuel. At the moment, a first successful trip has already been made in the direction of Valencia. A change that experts say can be a great revolution for the sector.
“The airline industry is committed to achieving zero net emissions by 2050,” reveals Javier Gándara, president of the Airlines Association.
In addition, they clarify that this fuel would manage to reduce 200 tons of C02 emissions, which means reduce them by almost 90%. Another advantage is that it could also be used on any aircraft without additional technical costs.
“The technical characteristics are the same as those of traditional fuels, the only difference is that the carbon atom comes from different sources, but the technical conditions are the same”, clarifies Carlos Barrasa.
For now, Seville airport has been the first in Europe to use biofuels in air travel. Now, they hope that the next destinations will be London or the Canary Islands.
