Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Biomass · Country: United Kingdom · Announced: 2026-06-17

EcoCeres, a Hong Kong-based biomass utilization biofuel and bioproducts platform, extended its multi-year sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply agreement with British Airways through 2030. The deal enables British Airways to reduce fuel lifecycle carbon emissions by approximately 198,000 metric tonnes compared with conventional jet fuel, equivalent to the total emissions of flying around 341,000 economy class passengers on return flights between London and New York. EcoCeres produces SAF from 100% waste-based biomass feedstock, such as used cooking oil, delivering up to 94% lifecycle carbon reduction relative to traditional jet fuel. British Airways' parent company, International Airlines Group (IAG), has set targets to fly with 10% SAF and use 1 million tonnes of SAF per year by 2030, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. In 2025, IAG's airlines accounted for approximately 15% of the world's SAF supply, with the company already securing around 42% of the SAF required to meet its 2030 goal.
