EcoCeres, Xiamen Airlines join hands to advance SAF production

Hong Kong-based pure play renewable fuels producer EcoCeres said it is partnering with Fujian-based Xiamen Airlines to collect and transport waste cooking oil from selected restaurant partners through its established supply chain.

The waste oil will be processed at EcoCeres’ production plants to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Under the collaboration, EcoCeres will repurpose used cooking oil into SAF and strengthen the sustainable supply chain for aviation fuel, aligning with global aviation sustainability goals.

“Partnering with Xiamen Airlines enables us to scale the production of SAF from waste feedstocks more rapidly, supporting the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero emissions,” said Matti Lievonen, CEO of EcoCeres.

“This collaboration exemplifies how industry leaders can work together to turn sustainability commitments into tangible progress.”

Earlier in July, EcoCeres announced the signing of a multi-year agreement to supply British Airways with SAF.
