AFKLMP has partnered with this year’s team, made up of students from Delft University of Technology, to transport the Nuna 11s from the Netherlands to South Africa and back again. AFKLMP converted the fuel needed to fly the Nuna 11s from Amsterdam to Johannesburg into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), reducing the carbon footprint of the journey. The Dutch Brunel Solar Team and AFKLMP are both keen to pursue sustainability and innovation. Using SAF reduces carbon emissions by at least 75% compared to fossil kerosene.

This year’s Sasol Solar Challenge will start in Johannesburg on Friday 9 September and end in Cape Town on Friday 16 September.
The Dutch Solar Team departed for South Africa ahead of the Nuna 11s, on Thursday 4 August.

By participating in this programme, customers are investing in the development and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), thereby contributing to a cleaner future for air transport. This is the first programme in the air cargo sector in which an airline and its customers structurally work together to reduce carbon emissions.

Our ambitions and efforts to become more sustainable are by no means diminished by Covid-19. Rather, we are accelerating our efforts in this area. Our fleet renewal programme continues and we have scaled-up our ambitions with regard to cutting emissions and increasing the use of sustainable fuel. We would like to invite our business and cargo customers to join us to take the lead in the development of SAF. ]]> Tue, 08 Dec 2020 09:26:00 +0100 https://content.presspage.com/clients/150_162.jpg?10000 https://content.presspage.com/clients/150_162.jpg?10000
