The German airline will use 400 metric tonnes of SAF on behalf of Maersk in the remainder of 2024, a period of the year with traditionally high cargo volumes. The expected reduction of CO2 emissions is expected to be at least 1,200 metric tonnes.

Maersk aims to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 across all modes of transport as well as other business areas like warehousing and terminals. However, it  the uptake and availability of SAF in the aviation industry is still limited.
