SAF

What is SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a sustainable aviation fuel made from renewable resources such as waste materials, residual products from agriculture and forestry, as well as other biological sources. In contrast to traditional fossil jet fuel, SAF can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% throughout its entire life cycle. This makes SAF a central solution in the work to reduce aviation's climate footprint, both globally and here in Norway.

SAF in Norway

Norway, with its vast distances and dispersed communities, relies on an efficient aviation industry. At the same time, AFSN are strongly committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with national and international climate targets. SAF offers a tangible opportunity to make aviation more sustainable, which is especially important in a country like Norway, where air transport plays a critical role.

Why is SAF important?

SAF gives the aviation industry an opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint without the need for major technical changes to aircraft or fuel infrastructure. It can be mixed with conventional jet fuel in various amounts, making it a flexible solution. This is a decisive factor for meeting global and national climate targets, and for securing a future aviation sector that is less dependent on fossil fuels.

For Norway, the use of SAF entails several advantages:

• Reduce emissions from both domestic and international air traffic.
• Promote innovation and development of biofuels, an industry in which Norway already has strong advantages.
• Ensure that Norway takes a leading role in green aviation, in line with our international reputation as a pioneering country for sustainability.

Our commitment to SAF

At AFSN, we are dedicated to contributing to greener aviation. We work actively to integrate SAF into our operations, and we collaborate with both national and international partners to increase the use of sustainable fuel. By using SAF, we are taking an important step towards reducing aviation's environmental impact, and we are proud to contribute to a more sustainable future for Norwegian aviation.
