SINGAPORE: Exxon Mobil said on Thursday (Jul 7) it has delivered the very first sustainable aviation gasoline cargo to Changi Airport, as part of an one-year pilot program to test the new gasoline for planes.
Under the initial programme, ExxonMobil provides sustainable aviation fuel for Singapore Airlines and Scoot plane tickets from Changi Airport terminal from July this season.
The oil major has been selected in Feb as the fuel supplier for the pilot programme launched by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), Singapore Airlines and Temasek.
The sustainable fuel is manufactured by blending ExxonMobil-produced processed jet fuel using the Neste-produced neat lasting aviation fuel at ExxonMobil facilities. The particular fuel is after that delivered to Changi Airport’s fuel hydrant system.
“ExxonMobil will be bringing its set up capabilities in fuels manufacturing and strategies to help customers for example SIA achieve their particular net-zero ambitions, inch said chairman and managing director associated with ExxonMobil Asia Pacific, Geraldine Chin.
ExxonMobil plans to supply more than 40, 000 barrels per day associated with lower-emission fuels, which includes sustainable aviation gasoline, by 2025, and also to further supply two hundred, 000 barrels per day by 2030.
Demand for lower-emission fuels is expected to grow amid decarbonisation efforts in transportation sectors, including aviators, marine and heavy duty trucking.
