TotalEnergies: Supporting Aviation with Sustainable Fuels
Through its Marketing & Services business, the Company offers a comprehensive range of products (Jet A-1, Avgas) tailored to the needs of its aviation customers.
But TotalEnergies is also a leading supplier of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) for commercial aviation. In partnership with Air France-KLM, a long-term agreement covers the supply of up to 1.5 million tons of SAF over ten years, to fuel the group’s flights across Europe.
With Airbus, TotalEnergies has been supplying SAF since 2016 for aircraft deliveries in Toulouse and now covers more than half of Airbus’ SAF needs in Europe, contributing concretely to the decarbonization of the manufacturer’s industrial operations.
Saft: Powering Aircraft
Saft supplies nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries that are essential to aircraft safety, as they deliver high peak power for engine starts and auxiliary power unit operations, as well as providing backup power. These batteries outperform lead-acid technology in terms of power and reliability, offering long and predictable service life with no risk of sudden failure. Most commercial aircraft rely on Saft solutions, which include more than 400 battery models designed to meet the diverse requirements of aircraft manufacturers, each optimized for energy and power performance. These solutions can be integrated into the electrical architecture of all types of aircraft, as well as drones.
