easyJet signs six-year SAF offtake agreement with Moeve

British low-cost airline easyJet announced that it has signed a six-year sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreement with Spanish energy firm Moeve (formerly known as Cepsa) allowing it access to the low-carbon fuel on the airline’s route network in Spain.

“We are committed to decarbonising our operations and SAF is going to play a vital role in helping us achieve that mission. We’re therefore delighted to have signed this agreement with Moeve to serve our Spanish network as we continue to take steps to reducing the impact of our flying,” said Raminder Shergill, director of tax & fuel strategy at easyJet.

The SAF will be produced at La Rábida Energy Park (Huelva), Spain using used cooking oils. The agreement will stretch from 2025 to 2030.

“At Moeve we promote solutions that drive decarbonisation in the airline industry. We believe that SAF is the immediate solution for a more sustainable aviation and therefore we supply it at the main airports of the Iberian Peninsula and the Canary Islands on a permanent basis. This new milestone reached with easyJet, a leading airline in Spain, is absolutely fundamental for our joint decarbonisation journey with our clients,” said Moeve’s director of sustainable avation Álvaro Macarro.

Moeve said the company is expanding its production capacity by 0.5m litres of SAF by developing a new plant in southern Europe which is expected to begin production in 2026.

The Spanish energy giant said that with the launch of this project, it become the leading producer of 2G biofuels in Spain and Portugal, with an annual production capacity of 2.5m metric tons of biofuels by 2030, of which 800,000 metric tons will be from SAF.
