The latter three organizations develop projects to enable companies to compensate for their own CO2 emissions, in addition to CO2 reduction. Moreover, a number of leading organizations have joined Board Now as partners including the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), the ClimateWorks Foundation, South Pole, Vertis Environmental Finance and the Climate Neutral Group. With the launch of Board Now with PwC and Skycanner as launching members, the programme is officially launched with a flying start. With our commitment to SkyNRG, we strengthen our strategy for sustainable business travel and we believe that this is a very important step towards sustainable flying, said Renate de Lange, a member of the Board of Directors of PwC Netherlands.
The use of SAF can deliver a CO2 reduction of at least 85 percent compared to conventional jet fuel. The purchasing of sustainable aviation fuel contributes to this. PwC is doing everything in its power to reduce its own business air travel emissions substantially. The coalition that participates in the Board Now programme, ensures a substantial purchase of SAF that will be produced by Europe’s first dedicated plant for the production of SAF in Delfzijl (DSL-01).Įarlier this year, centennial KLM Royal Dutch Airlines already committed itself to the purchase of 75 000 tonnes per annum of SAF from DSL-01. Their investment will be used by SkyNRG to cover the current price difference between SAF and conventional jet fuel. With this commitment, they not only reduce their own business air travel carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions but also contribute to the development of a new production facility. Organizations that join Board Now, such as PwC and Skyscanner that have already signed up, commit themselves for a period of five years to the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
