American Airlines, Google sign record-breaking green fuel deal
The agreement will deliver 35 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel over three years and is expected to cut nearly 300,000 metric tons of emissions.
- On Tuesday, American Airlines and Google announced a three-year agreement to purchase 35 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel, marking the largest deal of its kind between an airline and a single corporate buyer.
- BloombergNEF Renewable Fuels Analyst Jade Patterson noted the U.S. is 'an attractive place for corporates like Google to buy SAF' due to generous incentives, and the deal supports a supply arrangement with Valero Marketing and Supply Company.
- With support from an Illinois state tax credit, deliveries will arrive at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, with Google tracking certificates via the SAFc Registry to reduce 300,000 metric tons of emissions.
- Google Chief Sustainability Officer Kate Brandt stated that 'multi-year demand signals are critical for scaling production,' aiming to catalyze investment and bring more sustainable aviation fuel to market.
- Sustainable aviation fuels accounted for just 0.6% of global jet fuel consumption in 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association; while production doubled last year, industry growth is projected to slow throughout 2026.
