PA Consulting and Future Energy Global collaborate to compensate for Scope 3 emissions and accelerate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production
Tags
PA Consulting, the global innovation and transformation consultancy, has signed an agreement with Future Energy Global (FEG), the innovative Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) ecosystem builder and production accelerator, to help compensate for carbon emissions related to PA’s business travel.
The aviation industry has committed to reaching net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, and SAF is expected to contribute around two thirds of the necessary emissions reduction, but to achieve this, its production quantities need to scale more than 400-fold. The emissions from a flight fall under an airline’s “scope 1” direct responsibility. A company with staff flying for business on that flight is responsible for its staff’s share of the flight’s emissions under “scope 3”.
Under the agreement, FEG has retired a tranche of scope 3 credits derived from airlines’ use of SAF to compensate for a share of PA’s 2024 carbon emissions related to its business travel. By purchasing and retiring SAF-derived scope 3 credits, PA is mitigating the added cost of SAF to airlines and therefore enabling the faster scale-up of SAF production.
Sustainability is at the heart of PA’s purpose, and we are delighted to support Future Energy Global’s innovative SAF-based credits. This not only allows us to compensate for a share of our scope 3 emissions but also to contribute towards developing innovative approaches to helping achieve a more sustainable world.”
If we’re to achieve the industry’s common goal of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, stakeholders up and down the value chain need to collaborate. We’re proud that world-leading companies like PA are making sustainability and climate action central to their operations and joining our sustainable aviation ecosystem, which is bringing together more and more lessors, airlines, SAF producers, and corporate clients.”
Operating at the intersection between strategy, experience, and technology, PA’s aviation experts combine deep industry understanding with strengths in innovation and transformation to help our clients progress further, faster. The team delivers enduring results for airlines, airports, investors and the wider aviation supply chain.
PA and FEG will work together on future innovative ways to reduce aviation emissions.
