On Monday, Envision Energy announced it had entered into a strategic partnership with DHL Group to collaborate on Sustainable Aviation Fuel, integrated logistics, green energy solutions and the joint development of a Net Zero Industrial Park.
Officials said DHL Group has committed to achieving net zero-emission logistics by 2050 with a goal of increasing its SAF blend to over 30 percent by 2030. As part of the partnership, Envision will provide SAF, to help both companies achieve goals on carbon reduction while securing global supply. The companies said the partnership will also explore diversification of renewable feedstock sources and paths forward to advance decarbonization in the air transportation sector.
“The aviation sector is currently trailing targets largely due to high costs associated with green hydrocarbons and their derivatives,” Lei Zhang, chairman of Envision, said. “Envision, through systemic innovation, is able to reduce cost and revolutionize the production of SAF at scale, to accelerate the global industrialization of the ‘new oil’.”
Envision will work with DHL on green electricity procurement to support DHL’s renewable energy transition goals, while DHL will serve as Envision’s preferred logistics partner, fully deploying integrated logistics solutions to improve efficiency and quality while ensuring seamless global supply chain management and support.
“The partnership framework with Envision represents a further step towards global sustainability leadership for DHL Group. By leveraging our unparalleled logistics expertise and unique global network, we are committed to supporting Envision in their international expansion and logistical challenges,” Tobias Meyer, CEO at DHL Group, said. “Together, we will lead the change in integrating green technologies and optimizing supply chains, setting new benchmarks for sustainable innovation and global environmental impact through the energy transition.”
