Kuehne+Nagel is collaborating with Google to support the reduction of air freight emissions through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for Google Cloud\u2019s shipments in 2026. This reinforces both companies\u2019 commitment to advancing sustainable logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement, totalling up to 5.2 million litres of SAF, covers a key set of Google Cloud\u2019s infrastructure shipments, representing a reduction of up to 12,600 tonnes of CO\u2082e emissions. The agreement serves as a pilot for future collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SAF is produced from renewable resources that are considered waste, residues or by-products, such as used cooking oil and tallow, and can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from air transportation by around 80% compared to fossil-based jet fuel. SAF is a key lever for the aviation sector to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kuehne+Nagel offers its customers the opportunity to lower their scope 3 emissions through its SAF certification programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme meets strict sustainability requirements while simplifying the process for customers worldwide and contributes to the accelerated scaling of global demand for SAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By investing together in sustainability, Google Cloud and Kuehne+Nagel reinforce a long-term dedication to increasing demand for SAF and supporting the transition toward lower-emission air freight operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brian Stewart, Senior Director, Logistics, Google Cloud, says: \u201cThis agreement builds on Google Cloud\u2019s ongoing work to reduce emissions across our logistics value chain and supports our broader sustainability goals. By collaborating with Kuehne+Nagel, we can help advance the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel and support the transition toward lower-emission air freight operations,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabiano Piccinno, Global Head of Sustainability Air Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel, says: \u201cAs leaders in our respective industries, it is important to set a precedent by jointly driving sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt demonstrates the importance of sustainability as a core business priority and as a foundation for strong partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are proud that Google Cloud has selected Kuehne+Nagel to support the decarbonisation of its supply chains and to jointly advance practical, scalable sustainability initiatives\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
