The airline Eurowings claims to be the first airline in the world to introduce an option to purchase synthetic kerosene during the flight.
From now on, passengers can purchase a new organic fruit smoothie called "SAFt" in the Wings Bistro for 19,50 euros to offset the CO₂ emissions of their flights. The purchase includes compensation of 10 percent of flight-related CO₂ emissions through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF - Sustainable Aviation Fuel). The remaining 90 percent is offset by contributions to high-quality climate projects with partners such as myclimate, Climate Partner and SQUAKE.
The new smoothie is produced in Germany without added sugar by the start-up kraftschluck and uses fruit from organic farming to shorten transport routes. SAF is obtained from biogenic waste, such as used cooking oils, and can be mixed with fossil kerosene, reducing CO₂ emissions by around 80 percent compared to conventional kerosene. Eurowings also continues to offer the option of CO₂ compensation through the Planet Blu program, which can be booked before the flight via the website.
