The aviation industry is undergoing a significant transformation toward sustainability, and Joramco’s investment in DHL’s GoGreen+ program represents a major step in this direction. As a leading Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) provider, Joramco is actively supporting efforts to reduce carbon emissions by facilitating the transition to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Advancing Green Aviation
Through its participation in the GoGreen+ initiative, Joramco reinforces its commitment to environmentally responsible aviation practices. SAF, which is produced from renewable sources such as waste cooking oil and agricultural residues, offers a cleaner alternative to conventional jet fuel. When blended, it has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 percent, making it one of the most effective solutions for decarbonizing the aviation sector.
DHL’s GoGreen+ program is structured to integrate sustainability directly into logistics and aviation operations by focusing on emissions reductions at the source rather than relying solely on offsetting measures. Joramco’s involvement strengthens this approach by ensuring that sustainability is incorporated into MRO services.
Supporting Industry-Wide Sustainability Goals
Joramco CEO Fraser Currie highlighted the importance of this initiative, stating:
“The future of aviation is green, and it is our responsibility to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable industry. Utilizing sustainable aviation fuel reaffirms our commitment to the environment and deepens our clients’ trust in us.”
This investment aligns with Joramco’s broader sustainability strategy, which includes waste management, energy conservation, and recycling initiatives. By collaborating with DHL and other sustainability-focused partners, the company is driving innovation that supports global environmental objectives in aviation.
Aligning with International Sustainability Standards
The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to achieve ambitious sustainability targets. The adoption of SAF is a crucial component in meeting the requirements of key international frameworks, including:
- CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) – ICAO’s program for reducing aviation-related carbon emissions.
- EU ETS (Emissions Trading System) – The European Union’s regulatory framework for carbon pricing in aviation.
- SBTi (Science-Based Targets Initiative) – A global effort to align aviation emissions reductions with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Joramco’s participation in the GoGreen+ program strengthens these commitments, positioning the company as a leader in sustainable MRO operations.
The Expanding Role of SAF in Aviation
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is becoming a key enabler of the industry’s transition to a low-carbon future. Its benefits include:
- Substantial Carbon Reduction – SAF has the potential to reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 80 percent.
- Compatibility with Existing Infrastructure – It can be blended with conventional jet fuel and used in current aircraft without modifications.
- Scalability for Future Growth – As production increases, costs are expected to decrease, improving accessibility for airlines worldwide.
With major airlines, MRO providers, and logistics companies investing in SAF, the global aviation industry is steadily advancing toward a more sustainable model.
A Step Toward a More Sustainable Aviation Industry
Joramco’s investment in DHL’s GoGreen+ program reflects the growing recognition that sustainability must be a core priority for the aviation sector. By incorporating SAF into its operations, the company is not only reducing its environmental footprint but also setting a standard for other MRO providers and industry stakeholders.
As the aviation sector accelerates its efforts to achieve net-zero emissions, partnerships and initiatives like this will play a critical role in driving long-term sustainability and shaping a cleaner future for air travel.
