Through this innovative program, our corporate customers have the opportunity to help reduce their GHG emissions from travel with United.See the new aircraft:United talks about its SAF program:Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a lower-carbon alternative to normal jet fuel that can be used to fuel existing aircraft without making significant modications to the aircraft and its engines. SAF used by United has up to 85% lower GHG emissions than regular jet fuel when we count all of its emissions, all the way from how it’s made and delivered to the airport, to when we use it (these are called ‘lifecycle emissions’). This does not mean our current use of SAF reduces our carbon footprint by 85%, however. We still have a long way to go to achieve net zero by 2050, as currently only 0.1% of our overall fuel is SAF.Conventional jet fuel releases new carbon into the atmosphere1. ExtractCrude oil is extracted from the ground2. RefineCrude is refined into jet fuel, a carbon-intensive process3. ConsumeFinished jet fuel is used to fly aircraftProducing and using SAF can lower the lifecycle emissions compared to regular jet fuel a number of ways, such as by reusing a waste material so the waste doesn’t create more emissions when thrown out, by using a plant-based material that has captured GHGs, or capturing and using some of the CO2 in the air.Sustainable aviation fuel emits up to 85% less carbon on a lifecycle basis1. CollectRenewable or waste materials are collected2. ConvertCollected materials are converted to fuel with a process using renewable energy if possible3. UseFinished SAF is used to power aircraft more sustainablyUsing more SAF helps us not only to reach our goal to go net zero by 2050, but also our plan to decrease our carbon intensity by 50% from 2019 to 2035. We were the first airline to use SAF in regular operations on an ongoing basis, and the first U.S. airline to create a sustainability-focused venture fund to invest, in part, in SAF production.2009First U.S. airline to test SAF.2015First U.S. airline to invest in a SAF company (Fulcrum BioEnergy).2016First U.S. airline to use SAF for regularly scheduled flights.2020Commitment to 100% Green by 2050.2021First passenger flight using 100% SAF in one engine.2022First U.S. airline to announce expansion of SAF use at an international airport (AMS).</div></body>
