SIA to buy sustainable aviation fuel made from waste gases at new Singapore plant
Singapore Airlines says it has signed an agreement to purchase up to 4,800 tonnes of next-generation sustainable aviation fuel from Aether Beacon over three years.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) has signed a deal to purchase up to 4,800 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Aether Beacon, a company developing new technology to create SAF from waste gases. The fuel is set to begin deliveries in 2028, produced at Aether Fuels' commercial facility, Project Beacon, in Pulau Bukom, Singapore.
This represents SIA's first purchase of SAF made using this cutting-edge production method, which converts biomethane and industrial waste gases into aviation fuel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 70% compared to conventional jet fuel. SIA's Chief Sustainability Officer noted that this marks the airline's commitment to supporting new lower-carbon fuel production pathways and accelerating the transition to more sustainable air travel. The airline aims to use sustainable aviation fuel for 5% of its total fuel requirements by 2030.
