Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are a true alternative to fossil fuels and a key to more sustainable flying. Various production processes already exist today, others we are supporting in their development to bring to market.
A solution for the future: The unique Sun-to-Liquid procedure uses concentrated sunlight to produce SAF. We want to be the first in the world to fly with it.
Another promising innovation: With Power-to-Liquid technology sustainable fuel can be produced from green electricity, water and CO2. The Lufthansa Group is driving the development of this technology.
Flying more sustainably with SAF: The SAF currently used by the Lufthansa Group is produced from biogenic residues, such as from used cooking oils.
Today, the Lufthansa Group is one of the largest customers worldwide, even though the quantities of SAF available are currently still small.
We are involved in numerous projects to increase SAF availability and work with partners from science and industry - from start-ups to established energy companies.
More InformationAs the world's first airline group, we are equipping aircraft with the innovative AeroSHARK aircraft surface film. It imitates the aerodynamic properties of sharkskin. This reduces the aircraft's drag and lowers fuel consumption and thus CO2 emissions - by approximately 1 percent in the current configuration.
The Lufthansa Group is committed to interlinking modes of transport and is continuously expanding its collaborations with local rail service providers.
Today, our intermodal network covers more than 40 destinations in 5 countries with more than 3,000 connections per week.
Our customers can offset their individual flight related CO2 emissions through Sustainable Aviation Fuel and high-quality climate protection projects that are certified according to the highest available standards.
