Joramco, the Amman-based MRO provider and the engineering arm of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE), has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability by supporting DHL's GoGreen+ programme. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marking a significant step towards eco-friendly practices in the aviation sector.
By subscribing to the GoGreen+ programme, Joramco is helping to facilitate a transition to SAF, which is derived from renewable sources such as waste cooking oil and agricultural residues. When blended with conventional jet fuel, SAF can cut carbon emissions by up to 80%, providing a substantial reduction in the environmental impact of aviation. Unlike traditional carbon-offsetting schemes, this initiative directly addresses emissions at the source, aligning with both DHL's sustainability strategy and Joramco's vision for greener operations.
Commenting on the initiative, Fraser Currie, Chief Executive Officer of Joramco, stated: “The future of aviation is green, and it is our responsibility to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable industry. At Joramco, we care about delivering the highest quality products and services to our valued customers, which involves every aspect of the process. Utilising sustainable aviation fuel reaffirms our commitment to the environment, as much as deepens our clients' trust in us.”
Joramco's long-term sustainability strategy extends beyond SAF adoption. The company actively promotes energy conservation, recycling initiatives and smarter waste management practices. By partnering with DHL, Joramco strengthens its commitment to green innovation and continues to collaborate with like-minded organisations dedicated to reducing aviation's environmental footprint.
