Cathay Pacific: Sustainable Aviation Fuel Commitment

Cathay Pacific (CX) has pledged to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for 10% of its total fuel consumption by 2030. In 2014, CX invested in Fulcrum BioEnergy, a sustainable biofuel developer. As Fulcrum BioEnergy is scaling up its production, CX expects to use more SAF on its flights from 2024 onwards.

Apart from increasing the usage of SAF, CX’s carbon reduction roadmap also includes fleet modernisation, operational efficiency improvements, aviation and carbon capture technology innovations, and carbon offsets through its Fly Greener programme – which has offset over 300,000 tonnes of carbon emissions since 2007.
