The Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy in Germany (aireg), an association of companies from industry, research and science, was created in 2011 to increase the production and use of SAF in Germany.

aireg board chairman Siegfried Knecht highlighted how the companies will work together: “On behalf of the aireg board and our members, I am extremely pleased that Boeing is becoming a member of our association.

“Boeing has already supported our initiative in the past and we will now jointly drive the development, production, supply and delivery of SAF in cooperation with CAAFI (Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative) in the U.S.”

Boeing aims to contribute to the industry-set 2050 net zero emissions objective for commercial aviation by building new and efficient commercial aircraft, investing in innovative technologies and driving collaborations to scale up SAF, according to the US giant.
