Following Ryanair’s purchase of 500 metric tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from OMV in October 2023, the airline on March 8 announced that it will take an additional 500 metric tons of SAF from OMV in 2024. This agreement will save a further 1,250-plus metric tons in CO2 emissions (equivalent to c.100 Ryanair flights from Dublin to Vienna).
Under Ryanair and OMV’s MOU agreement, Ryanair has unique access to purchase up to 160,000 metric tons of SAF from OMV up to 2030.
Ryanair’s Director of Sustainability Tom Fowler said, “We’re delighted to be taking an additional 500 tonnes of SAF from OMV this year, in addition to the 500 tonnes we agreed in October last. SAF plays a key role in our Pathway to Net Zero decarbonization strategy in which we have committed to increasing our use of over the coming years – a commitment that this deal with OMV will help move further forward. OMV is a key partner for Ryanair in Austria, Germany and Romania and we look forward to growing this partnership as Europe’s largest airline group.”
