About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Airbus uses sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its Beluga super-transporter fleet for internal logistics transporting aircraft parts between European manufacturing sites. Use began with Beluga ST in December 2019 and expanded to Beluga XL. This directly reduces Scope 1 emissions from Airbus's own operations. Evidence: "Since 2019, Airbus has been using SAF on its Beluga fleet to transport aircraft parts between locations including Hamburg, Broughton, Bremen, Toulouse and St Nazaire." — https://www.airbus.com/en/innovation/energy-transition/our-commitment-to-saf
