Twelve, the carbon transformation company that turns CO2 into fuels and chemicals, has announced a collaboration with World Fuel, a division of World Kinect Corporation. The effort is designed to validate how electrofuel-based sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) can move through today’s aviation fuel infrastructure, demonstrating a practical pathway for scaling new fuel technologies.
For emerging eSAF producers, a key question is whether next-generation fuels can integrate into existing logistics systems without major infrastructure changes. By working with World Fuel, Twelve is assessing the operational requirements needed to deliver CO2-based fuels through the same global network already used for conventional jet fuel.
'When a global fuel logistics leader with World Fuel’s safety record and operational scale collaborates with an eSAF producer, like Twelve, it signals a fundamental market shift,' says Ashwin Jadhav, vice president of business development, Twelve.
World Fuel brings decades of global experience in aviation fuel logistics, safety protocols, blending, storage, and quality assurance. Applying these systems to eSAF supports consistent handling standards and a clear operational framework for airlines exploring CO2-based fuels. For carriers, this means access to eSAF through familiar procedures and existing infrastructure. Following Twelve’s success with customers such as Alaska Airlines and International Airlines (parent company of British Airways), access to this infrastructure network will be critical as more global airlines look to purchase eSAF globally.
