Tuesday, August 27, 2024 Acer, Cathay Cargo, and Dimerco unite in a groundbreaking initiative to reduce carbon emissions and propel Asian aviation toward a more sustainable future. Acer, Cathay Cargo , and Dimerco Express Group are collaborating to minimize carbon emissions in the aviation sector. Starting in 2024, Acer and Dimerco, its logistics partner, have entered into a partnership to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on Cathay Cargo flights.
This initiative aligns with Acer’s net-zero strategy, emphasizing a commitment to eco-friendly logistics as part of its broader aim to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a biofuel derived from plant or animal materials, offering a significant reduction in aviation’s greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 80% compared to traditional fossil fuels. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SAF could account for approximately 65% of the emission reductions required for the aviation industry to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
This collaboration is part of Cathay Pacific’s Corporate SAF Programme, initiated in 2022, and stands as one of the pioneering efforts of its kind in Asia. “The agreement between Acer and Dimerco to support SAF is another advancement under our Earthion sustainability platform to tackle environmental challenges together with our supply chain partners,” said Grace Liu, Corporate Sustainability Officer, Acer Inc. “Net zero emissio.
