KLM<\/strong> Royal Dutch Airlines<\/strong> is spearheading the development of alternative aviation fuels<\/strong> that leave a smaller environmental footprint and make soaring the skies more sustainable<\/strong>. In a recent post we highlighted its feat in operating the first-ever passenger flight using synthetic paraffin<\/a><\/strong>. In today’s, we want to let you in on the airline’s Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme<\/strong>, which now has its first partaker in Spain.<\/p>\n

Want to find out more about the steps being taken to achieve sustainable air travel and learn how to join the initiative yourself<\/strong>? Read on!<\/p>\n

KLM and its sustainable resolutions: alternative fuel<\/h2>\n

KLM<\/strong> has been driving and actively taking part in R&D programmes to produce sustainable fuel<\/strong> for many years. In 2011, the company began operating passenger flights using energy sources other than fossil fuels<\/strong>, and in doing so proved that environmentally friendlier air travel is possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Conoce<\/p>\n

How are these sustainable aviation fuels produced? <\/strong>From used oils, waste products and forestry residues, whose use can reduce emissions by more than 85% compared to conventional fuels<\/strong>. Importantly, these products can be added to aviation fuel without the need to make engine modifications.<\/p>\n

KLM’s Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme<\/h2>\n

One of the current challenges in extending these environmentally friendly options to mainstream aviation is the development of a sustainable fuel industry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, KLM<\/strong> is launching Sustainable Aviation Fuel <\/strong>(SAF), a programme that will allow its corporate customers to make specific contributions. How does it work? Customers will estimate the CO2 emissions associated with their air travel and determine their participation in the programme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
