In order to meet the challenges of CO2-neutral aviation, the development and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel is an enormously important goal. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is the generic term for all aviation fuels that are produced without the use of fossil
energy sources. The currently most commonly used SAF is produced from biogenic residues. Fats from the food industry (used cooking fats) and industrial waste are used for this purpose. In this way, production does not compete with food production.

How does it work in practice?

- Contributions above 720.000 Benefit Points are certified directly via Compensaid according to the Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Protocol-standard by an external auditor and can be officially used to offset your eco-balance.
