Programma aziendale Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Il programma aziendale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) nasce dal nostro costante impegno nella lotta contro il cambiamento climatico, ed è uno dei primi nel suo genere in Asia. Grazie al supporto finanziario di clienti aziendali, abbiamo utilizzato per la prima volta il SAF sui voli in partenza dalla nostra sede, l’aeroporto internazionale di Hong Kong. Stiamo anche ampliando l’utilizzo della tecnologia SAF e potenziandone la fornitura all’estero.
Cos’è il SAF?
Il Sustainable Aviation Fuel è uno dei metodi più efficaci per decarbonizzare le operazioni delle compagnie aeree nei prossimi decenni, soprattutto per i viaggi a lungo raggio. Rispetto al carburante tradizionale, il SAF è in grado di ridurre di oltre l’80% le emissioni di CO2 in un ciclo di vita, a seconda della tecnologia SAF utilizzata, poiché è prodotto da fonti rinnovabili e dal riutilizzo dei rifiuti. Abbiamo assunto l’impegno di utilizzare la tecnologia SAF per il 10% del nostro consumo totale di carburante entro il 2030: tutto questo fa parte del nostro impegno a raggiungere zero emissioni nette di CO2 entro il 2050.
Insieme, possiamo ridurre le emissioni di CO2 generate dai viaggi aziendali e dal trasporto aereo di merci, e guidare la transizione verso l’energia rinnovabile nell’aviazione.
Come funziona il programma
Il nostro programma aziendale SAF accelera la transizione globale verso l’aviazione sostenibile, fornendo ai nostri clienti una chiara documentazione della riduzione delle emissioni Scope 3.
- Il SAF acquistato da Cathay Pacific è certificato da standard di sostenibilità riconosciuti a livello internazionale.*
- I clienti contribuiscono a estendere l’utilizzo del SAF sui voli Cathay Pacific e Cathay Cargo.
- Per i suoi voli, Cathay Pacific utilizzerà il SAF invece del combustibile fossile standard.
- Cathay Pacific rilascerà un certificato di riduzione delle emissioni verificata e una lettera di assurance di terzi, per aiutare le aziende a ridurre le emissioni di CO2 Scope 3 derivanti dai viaggi aziendali o dal trasporto merci. Questo impegno include l’iniziativa Science Based Targets (SBTi) per la riduzione delle emissioni indirette legate all’industria dell’aviazione.
* Come la Direttiva sulle energie rinnovabili dell’UE, la Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) o il sistema International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC).
