Moeve becomes the first external SAF supplier to join Avelia

By leveraging the book and claim model, the Avelia platform aims to reduce the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) aviation emissions and enable greater participation in the sector’s decarbonisation efforts. The platform provides wider access to the GHG benefits of SAF across the aviation value chain.

This agreement supports Moeve’s Positive Motion strategy by promoting greater SAF adoption as the market evolves, helping to make it a more commercially viable solution for advancing the energy transition. Moeve is a leading SAF supplier in Spain, manufacturing SAF at its La Rábida Energy Park in Huelva from used cooking oils, advancing the circular economy and supporting aviation decarbonisation. It is building a 2G biofuels facility in Huelva as part of a joint venture with the capacity to flexibly produce up to 500 000 tpy of SAF and renewable diesel, and is targeting an overall annual SAF production capacity of 800 000 t by 2030.

Avelia was launched in 2022 by Shell Aviation in collaboration with Amex Global Business Travel and Accenture, with support from the Energy Web Foundation (EWF). It offers a transparent, secure, credible, and externally verified platform that helps businesses access the GHG benefits of SAF even when SAF is not physically available at their nearest location.

As of 30 June 2025, Avelia helped inject over 41 million gal. of SAF into the existing fuel network at 17 airport injection point locations around the world, helping to abate over 370 000 t of CO₂ equivalent emissions. 57 corporations and airlines have made transactions through Avelia.?

In July 2025, Avelia announced its evolution into a multi-supplier platform, helping users access the GHG benefits of SAF from multiple SAF suppliers including Shell. The integration of Moeve into the platform means that airlines, corporations, freight forwarders, and shippers will now have broader SAF supplier choice, including Moeve and Shell.

“In a dynamic book and claim landscape, Avelia stands out as an initiative that has demonstrated real scale and credibility in accelerating SAF adoption. We are proud to join Avelia as its first strategic third-party SAF supplier and see this agreement as a key step in our ambition to lead aviation decarbonisation in Europe,” said Carlos Barrasa, Moeve’s Executive Vice President for Commercial & Clean Energies.

Raman Ojha, President of Shell Aviation, added: “Avelia’s evolution into a multi-supplier platform is an important step in scaling access to SAF, and it is made possible through the collaboration of committed parties across the aviation value chain. Moeve’s role as Avelia’s first external SAF supplier marks a key milestone in our mission to help reduce emissions from aviation. By building a more inclusive and transparent system, we are enabling broader participation in aviation’s decarbonisation and accelerating progress together.”
