Rolls-Royce and Shell have signed a memorandum of understanding to help build towards their respective net-zero targets by developing and scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuels for the sector.

The two companies have signed the MoU to help decarbonise the aviation industry by developing SAFs to be used commercially. The MoU will build on existing partnerships between the two firms to advance the development of SAFs, including Rolls-Royce’s new SAFinity service, for which Shell is the sole SAF supplier. The two companies want to demonstrate that SAFs can act as a “drop-in” solution to decarbonise aviation.

“The heritage of collaboration between Rolls-Royce and Shell is a strong foundation for the future, particularly when it comes to our shared ambitions for achieving net-zero emissions,” Shell Aviation’s president Anna Mascolo said. “Being from different parts of the aviation value chain means Rolls-Royce and Shell bring complementary expertise, experiences and ideas to the table. Wide-ranging cooperation can drive new solutions that will help the aviation industry and our customers navigate a pathway to net-zero.”
