Exolum announces it will pipe Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into London’s Heathrow Airport

Multinational petrochemicals storage and pipeline operator Exolum has announced a significant UK environmental boost with the news that it is to pipe Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into London’s Heathrow Airport.

The Spanish-owned group has 68 storage terminals in eight countries, more than 6,000 km of pipelines and provides facilities at 45 airports. In the UK it has 24 liquid fuel storage terminals, holding up to 2.5 million cubic metres, and a 2,000 km pipeline network.

Ignacio Casajús López, North West Europe lead for the group, said: “The new developments flow from our long-term agreements with Jet A-1 fuel marketers to pump jet fuel to Heathrow Airport, the UK’s biggest airport, and one of the busiest in the European area.

“Exolum pipelines are accepting SAF into their UK terminals, and doing so in the safest and most sustainable manner to the airport, avoiding the need for any road or rail transport. We are delighted to support our customers in this long-term initiative. Exolum believes that SAF is an important element in the drive to reduce global carbon emissions.”

“Through Exolum pipelines we are able to ensure rapid scalability of supplies to Heathrow and potentially other key airports as demand and availability of SAF increases. The benefits of safe and sustainable transport will be maintained for all users.”
