Partnership aims to speed up aviation decarbonisation
24 October 2023
DHL EXPRESS and World Energy, a SAF producer and low-carbon solutions provider, have signed a long-term strategic agreement to accelerate the decarbonisation of aviation logistics through the purchase of approx. 668 million litres of Sustainable Aviation Fuel via sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc).

The seven-year contract, to run through 2030, is one of the longest and largest SAFc agreements in the aviation industry to date.
The agreement is expected to reduce approx. 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the aviation fuel lifecycle – this is equivalent to handling the approximately 77,000 annual aircraft movements of DHL Express in the Americas carbon neutrally for a full year. The milestone agreement is further testament to DHL Group’s ambitious Sustainability Roadmap, which includes
the goal to reduce the Group's annual greenhouse gas emissions to below 29 million tonnes CO2e in 2030 across scopes 1, 2 and 3.
