Emirates and ENOC have signed a major MoU to explore the local production and supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Dubai — a move that could redefine the region’s aviation landscape. SAF can cut lifecycle emissions by up to 80%, offering airlines a powerful path toward decarbonization.
The agreement brings together Emirates Airline, ENOC Group, and Dubai’s energy and aviation authorities to evaluate how locally produced SAF can be integrated into future operations. As sustainability becomes a competitive and regulatory necessity, industry professionals across the GCC are watching closely.
If implemented, the initiative could transform fuel procurement strategies, boost local energy resilience, and strengthen the UAE’s leadership in green aviation.
