By the end of 2022, 28 flights departing from Malpensa will be powered also by SAF produced by Eni in its Livorno refinery in partnership with Eni's bio-refinery in Gela, whose plants process waste raw materials, animal fat, exhausted vegetable oils and oils from crops that do not compete with the food supply chain.
SEA Milan Airports CEO Armando Brunini said: “This partnership with Eni and DHL, the first company at Malpensa to use SAF, is an important step towards the decarbonization of the air transport sector, a priority goal for our industry. It will be a long and complex process that requires the synergy of all the actors involved to generate concrete actions, as the agreement signed today demonstrates. SEA has long since started to establish strategic partnerships and invest in technologies and projects to speed up the transition towards a more sustainable future for air transport. I am convinced that our sector should lead the ecological transition and, given concrete and measurable results, deserves a supportive and incentivising policy framework.”
