DHL Express has agreed with TotalEnergies to secure sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for aircraft operating from its Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport hub. The reported agreement covers an initial five million liters over one year.
Key details
- DHL plans to use the fuel on routes from Paris CDG to Leipzig, Casablanca, Milan, and London.
- DHL estimates the agreement could reduce emissions from its French operations by about 11,800 metric tonnes of CO₂e per year.
- DHL plans to allocate the SAF-related environmental attributes to its GoGreen Plus customer offering through book-and-claim. Under that approach, customers may receive emissions-reduction benefits even when their shipments do not travel on SAF-fueled aircraft.
The agreement covers five million liters of sustainable aviation fuel over one year.
Why it matters
Book-and-claim separates the allocation of emissions-reduction benefits from the specific aircraft carrying a shipment. DHL says SAF can reduce lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions compared with conventional jet fuel; the reported reduction potential of about 80% is a general estimate, not a measured result from this agreement.
