Lufthansa Cargo and CEVA Logistics Expand SAF Cooperation
Published by Todd Bush on March 11, 2026
Lufthansa Cargo is consistently advancing the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) together with customers and partners. The focus is on a strategic approach based on three-year framework agreements, clearly defined quality and verification standards, and flexible follow-up arrangements. This model provides planning certainty while allowing additional SAF volumes to be integrated at short notice and the use of more sustainable aviation fuels to be scaled step by step.
“The market ramp-up of SAF requires reliability, transparency and long-term collaboration. This is exactly where our structured approach comes in,” says Bettina Petzold, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Lufthansa Cargo. “Our agreements create the foundation on which we want to achieve measurable progress together with our customers in reducing CO₂ emissions across global supply chains.”

A key example of this strategic approach is the partnership with CEVA Logistics. Building on a multi-year SAF framework agreement concluded in 2025, an additional SAF volume for 2026 was now agreed with ease. The existing contractual framework enabled both companies to implement further SAF volumes for CEVA Logistics quickly and reliably. While the first agreement for 2025, as previously announced, enabled a CO₂ reduction of around 8,000 metric tons, the newly added volume will contribute a further reduction of around 7,000 metric tons in 2026. Combined, this results in total CO₂ savings of approximately 15,000 metric tons.
