19th April 2024 - TotalEnergies and Marseille Provence Airport have signed a partnership agreement to make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) available at the airport in Marignane. The aim is to encourage airlines to increase their use of locally sourced sustainable aviation fuel and to help reduce CO₂ emissions from flights departing from Marseille.

The sustainable aviation fuel supplied by TotalEnergies does not require any modifications to aircraft, logistical infrastructure or refuelling operations.

“We are delighted to be working with Marseille Provence Airport to help build a sustainable aviation fuel production and distribution chain that will support growth and development in the region. From 2025, airlines will be able to source SAF locally, in particular thanks to production at the La Mède site. The development of sustainable aviation fuels is at the heart of our Company’s transition strategy, and we are committed to meeting the growing demand from our aviation customers to reduce their carbon footprint,” said Jean-Michel Diaz, Director for Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Corsica at TotalEnergies. 

“Marseille Provence Airport has undertaken a proactive plan to decarbonise its operations. Our objective is to achieve a 90% reduction in direct CO₂ emissions from airport infrastructure by 2030. We also aim to tackle indirect emissions linked to our activities. To achieve this, the availability of sustainable aviation fuels is essential, and so is the creation of a local distribution network in our region. TotalEnergies is providing an initial response to this initiative, and we welcome the decision taken for La Mède. We will work alongside TotalEnergies to ensure this initiative is a complete success by seeking to supply fuel to aircraft with the lowest possible impact and by encouraging our airline customers to join this sustainable approach. Through these actions, we intend to help decarbonise air transport,” said Philippe Bernand, Chairman of the Executive Board of Marseille Provence Airport.
