DHL and World Energy agree on deal for sustainable aviation fuel

The purchases will be made via sustainable aviation fuel certificates.

DHL Express has signed an agreement with World Energy, a producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), for the purchase of approximately 668 million litres of SAF over the next seven years.

The purchases will be made via sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc), with the agreement continuing into 2030.

The alternative fuel will replace jet fuel in DHL Express’ air cargo operations. The logistics company expects that this will reduce around 1.7 million tonnes of CO₂e on a lifecycle basis, which it says is “equivalent to handling the approximately 77,000 annual aircraft movements of DHL Express in the Americas carbon neutrally for a full year.”

DHL Group’s Sustainability Roadmap outlines its sustainability goals, including reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions to below 29 million tonnes of CO₂e in 2030 across scopes 1, 2, and 3. Furthermore, Deutsche Post DHL Group has committed to reducing all logistics-related emissions to zero by the year 2050. Read more
