OMV and Associated Energy Group are working together to distribute regional Sustainable Aviation Fuel produced by OMV in Austria. The two companies have agreed to market an on-demand quantity of SAF in 2022, allowing end users, mainly from the general aviation segment, to access the product as an alternative to conventional jet fuel at Vienna International Airport.The sustainable fuel is produced at the OMV Schwechat Refinery by co-processing regional used cooking oil provided by Austrian based collector Münzer Bioindustrie GmbH in the fuel production process. This approach makes the entire production chain as regional as possible and keeps transport routes to a minimum. Compared to conventional kerosene, SAF contributes to a CO2 reduction of more than 80% over the entire lifecycle. In technical terms, one key advantage of SAF is that existing infrastructure can be used for storage and refueling.AEG Fuels has committed to purchasing the product and distributing the supply to aircraft end users via AEG’s numerous sales and marketing channels, including term supply contracts, adhoc demands via AEG’s 24/7 dispatch, instantaneous refueling authorizations via AEG’s web-based Fuel Management platform, and with AEG’s mobile application. With OMV’s direct pipeline to Vienna International Airport, SAF will be available for refueling end users as needed. AEG will make accessing SAF as simple as possible for aircraft operators while OMV supports robust proof of traceability, compliance, and product certification via ISCC PLUS and EU RED sustainability criteria.”
