Axens has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus to strengthen their cooperation in the development and deployment of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a key pillar for decarbonizing the aviation sector. Building on their respective leadership in renewable fuels technologies and aeronautics innovation, the two companies aim to accelerate the scale up of SAF solutions needed to support the industry’s transition toward net zero emissions by 2050.
Through this collaboration, the partners will engage in structured discussions on technical aspects of SAF pathways to enhance their shared understanding of current and future technologies, reinforcing ongoing exchanges between their technical teams. In parallel, Axens and Airbus will jointly explore how to support wider SAF deployment by aligning advocacy efforts, engaging with key stakeholders, and identifying potential opportunities where coordinated action could accelerate project development worldwide. The Parties will also look into areas where they could collaborate on regional market analysis and consider joint initiatives that could help de risk and speed up SAF production scale up.
With this agreement, Axens and Airbus reaffirm their shared ambition to move SAF from vision to implementation. By combining complementary expertise, engaging with the broader ecosystem, and exploring innovative forms of collaboration, both companies intend to contribute meaningfully to the rapid emergence of a robust and sustainable SAF market.
