Sustainability programmes
Volanteus offers comprehensive and verified sustainability programmes for any flyer through four simple levels – so anyone can meet their sustainability goals.
‘Book and Claim’ programme
Sustainable Aviation Fuel, or SAF, refers to jet fuel that’s produced from renewable sources, rather than being refined from petroleum. The Book and Claim programme sells SAF credits which give the opportunity to buy SAF for aircraft without uplifting it themselves. The credit bought will be used in another aircraft flying out of an airport that provides SAF.
What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel made from?
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is produced mainly from seven different biological resources. These sources are biomass, waste lipids, sugars that have converted to hydrocarbon, other differently processed biomass, agricultural waste, plant and animal fats such as oil, as well as bio-derived hydrocarbons and fatty acid esters. One of the greatest benefits of SAF is that it works perfectly well with existing aircraft. Currently, traditional aviation fuel can be blended up to 50% with SAF – delivering a huge decrease in emissions long-term. Aircraft engines have also been tested on 100% unblended SAF and the aviation industry expects to be using 100% SAF in the near future.
