Montreal consortium inks deal to supply sustainable fuel to Air France-KLM

A Montreal-based company has signed a deal to supply sustainable aviation fuel to the Air France-KLM Group.

The SAF+ Consortium, made up of a group of Quebec companies and focused on producing sustainable aviation fuel, says that under the memorandum of understanding, deliveries of the fuel are slated to start in 2030.

Consortium president and CEO Jean Paquin says in a press release that the fuel aligns with the criteria in the French government's roadmap for the aviation sector.

The fuel is composed of hydrogen made from water using renewable energy, plus carbon captured from industrial emissions.
