Reduce Your Aviation Emissions with Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Business aviation is a significant and fast-growing source of corporate carbon emissions. For many organisations, air travel is the single largest contributor to their Scope 3 footprint — and one of the most visible.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is the most effective solution available today for reducing the climate impact of business flying, without changing how you fly. Nex-Zero provides corporate SAF programmes that allow businesses to access this technology now, ahead of wider industry availability.
What Is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel, produced from sustainable feedstocks rather than fossil resources. It requires no modifications to aircraft, engines, or existing airport infrastructure.SAF feedstocks include:
-
Used cooking oil and food waste — one of the most established and scalable pathways
-
Agricultural and forestry residues — waste materials that would otherwise be discarded
-
Municipal solid waste — converting non-recyclable waste into aviation fuel
-
Green hydrogen and captured CO2 — advanced synthetic fuel pathways (Power-to-Liquid)
On a lifecycle basis, SAF reduces carbon emissions by up to 80% compared with conventional jet fuel.
Why SAF Matters for Corporate Climate Targets
Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. Battery-electric and hydrogen aircraft are in development but years from commercial viability at scale. SAF is the credible, available solution for the near term.
For businesses, SAF is central to credible climate commitments because:
-
It directly reduces lifecycle emissions from the flights you take, rather than compensating elsewhere
-
It addresses Scope 3 Category 6 (business travel) emissions under the GHG Protocol
-
It demonstrates leadership at a time when aviation emissions face growing regulatory attention
-
It future-proofs your climate strategy against tightening aviation regulations in the UK and EU
How Corporate SAF Works
Our corporate SAF solution operates through a book-and-claim mechanism:
-
You calculate the volume of SAF required to cover your business flight emissions
-
Nex-Zero secures and retires that volume of SAF on your behalf through verified supply chains
-
You receive a certificate of SAF usage that is fully traceable and auditable
-
You can report your SAF use against your Scope 3 emissions with full transparency
This approach requires no changes to how or where your teams fly. It works across all airlines and routes, making it suitable for businesses of any size.
Getting Started
We start with your flight data — from your travel management company, expense records, or an estimate based on your team size and travel frequency. From there, we calculate your SAF requirement and manage the procurement and certification process on your behalf.
