What Is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a combination of traditional jet fuel and renewable jet fuel. The renewable element is produced from sustainable feedstocks and is similar in its chemistry to traditional fossil fuel. This blend of SAF has the same ASTM D 1655 specification and can be used as jet fuel. SAF can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by over 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces.

AVIATION SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS

CARBON OFFSET

We're collaborating with 4AIR, an industry pioneer in sustainability solutions, to help FBOs and operators begin their sustainable journey. The Phillips 66^® Aviation Carbon Offset Program allows FBOs and operators to balance out their environmental impact by purchasing carbon credits. Each carbon credit purchased reduces or avoids 1 metric ton of CO2 emissions and is issued from widely used global standards eligible under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).

FLIGHT OPERATORS FIXED-BASE OPERATORS

Phillips 66 Aviation has made its carbon offset program as straightforward as possible for operators. It takes four steps to offset an aircraft’s carbon emissions.

Enroll in the program by completing and submitting the contact form.
Register an aircraft to offset its emissions; to offset an entire fleet, you must register every aircraft.
Purchase fuel through our contract fuel program*.
Receive monthly carbon credits from 4AIR.

CONTACT FORM

Every quarter, operators will receive an invoice to meet carbon neutrality with offsets along with a certificate that details how many carbon credits they received and can be applied to a business’s sustainability plan.

Operators can also request a carbon profile assessment through 4AIR. This profile calculates a business’s entire carbon footprint and provides a comprehensive plan to reduce emissions.

*Note: Fuel that is not purchased through the Contract Fuel Program will not be automatically offset with 4AIR carbon credits. To offset these fuel purchases, operators must provide fuel purchase information for each month to 4AIR.

Our carbon offset program also allows FBOs to balance out the emissions created from their monthly gasoline and diesel usage from refuelers, company vehicles, ground service equipment, etc.

Enroll in the program by completing and submitting the contact form.
Collect and share data to calculate your carbon footprint based on fuel and energy use.
Purchase the number of carbon credits required to offset your FBO emissions and be carbon neutral.

CONTACT FORM

FBOs can also request a carbon profile assessment through 4AIR. This profile calculates a facility’s full carbon footprint and provides a comprehensive plan to reduce emissions.

Flight operators are looking for sustainable solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. Make it easy for them and offer Contract Fuel at your FBO to automatically offset their emissions through the carbon offset program.

What is Unleaded Avgas?

Phillips 66 and Afton Chemical have teamed up to develop an unleaded Grade 100 aviation gasoline (UL100). Our vision for UL100 is that it will be fully compatible with 100LL and the 100LL distribution network, allowing the product to service the entire fleet of general aviation aircraft, to meet or exceed the performance and quality characteristics of 100LL as specified in ASTM D910, to be a less hazardous engine emission compared to 100LL and to minimize any cost increases. Our candidate product is currently in pre-requisite testing with the FAA. Learn more about unleaded avgas development at TrustedFuel.com.
