With the Paris Air Show bringing together the aviation industry, TotalEnergies has announced a new deal to secure feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Bien que le SAF offre aux compagnies aériennes un moyen de réduire leurs émissions de carbone sans avoir besoin de nouveaux avions, il nécessite une matière première différente de celle du carburant d'aviation conventionnel. En effet, pour réduire considérablement les émissions de carbone tout au long de leur cycle de vie, les SAF doivent être produits à partir de sources biologiques durables.
The France-based energy giant, which also makes the Total coolant and metalworking products, has therefore signed a 15-year deal with Quatra. Under the deal, Quatra will provide TotalEnergies’ biorefineries with 60,000 tons of used cooking oil each year.
TotalEnergies’ Renewable Fuels & Chemicals Senior Vice President, Valérie Goff, expressed delight at securing further feedstock through the strategic deal with Quatra, saying:
"Le développement des biocarburants est l'un des objectifs stratégiques de notre entreprise. En réduisant directement l'intensité carbone des produits énergétiques utilisés par nos clients, nous travaillons activement avec eux dans le cadre de notre démarche net zéro, aux côtés de la société."
Quatra is a leading European company for efficiently collecting and recycling used cooking oil. Under the agreement with TotalEnergies, it will directly collect used cooking oil from restaurant chains, independent restaurants and industrial facilities. It will then filter the oil at its own sites before delivering it to TotalEnergies’ biorefineries. From there, it will be transformed either into SAF to meet the aviation’s growing demand or biodiesel for low-carbon road transport. The process exemplifies how a waste product can be transformed into a valuable resource.
