DUBLIN, IRELAND, 23 June 2026: Future Energy Global (FEG) has addressed the lifecycle carbon footprint of all of its 2025 business travel, reducing those emissions with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). It did this using a Book and Claim structure that, from a single batch of fuel, also enables Delta Air Lines to claim the direct emissions reduction for its own operations.
The story is easiest to follow by following the fuel. It begins with Technical Corn Oil, a by-product of corn grown by farming communities across Minnesota. Montana Renewables refines that feedstock into SAF and the fuel is uplifted locally. Book and Claim does the rest. Delta claims the Scope 1 reduction for flights out of its Minneapolis hub, where the airline has a major presence, and FEG claims the Scope 3 reduction for its own employees’ travel, in line with the recently published Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) Corporate Net Zero guidance. One batch of fuel, two distinct reductions, each verified and counted only once.
That is the quiet power of Book and Claim, and it is where the climate story meets an energy one. The physical fuel stays close to home, which means additional income for the Minnesota farmers who grow the corn it comes from and production built on domestic soil rather than imported barrels. The environmental benefit, meanwhile, travels to wherever a buyer needs to account for it. Local supply and a credible corporate reduction, from the same gallon.
At the end of the process, what FEG holds is a set of SAF Scope 3 certificates: a reduction that sits inside the aviation value chain and that FEG reports against its own business travel footprint, independently verified and retired so it cannot be claimed twice. The company purchased emissions reductions amounting to its full CO2 footprint from its travel, and that was the point. Business travel is the largest part of many companies’ emissions footprints and one that cannot be cut completely, and the question FEG hears in nearly every customer conversation is some version of “But what meaningful action can we take to reduce our net emissions?” Addressing its own travel, on its own books, is how FEG answers that: by doing it rather than just talking about it.
This is not a call for every company to inset all of its travel overnight, although many of FEG’s customers such as Microsoft are working towards this ultimate goal. It is a demonstration, and a reference which other corporate Scope 3 buyers can use: proof that the route works and stands up to scrutiny. Similarly, FEG sought out like-minded partners for the supply chain of this transaction: Montana Renewables is an innovative SAF producer, while Delta Air Lines is doing the hard, early work to accelerate SAF and is committed to generating economic value for the Minnesota communities that supply it.
Natasha Mann, CEO and Co-Founder of Future Energy Global:
“People hear ‘sustainable fuel’ and think only about emissions. Stand in a field in Minnesota and it is also about jobs, income and a fuel supply you control. That is the future worth funding: cleaner on a lifecycle basis, and more resilient because it is built closer to home. We compensated all of our own business travel this year with sustainable aviation fuel to show it can be done credibly, not just talked about. We lead our own operations with the same integrity we ask of the market.”
Patrick Edmond, Chief Commercial Officer of Future Energy Global:
“Energy independence and decarbonisation are usually treated as separate conversations. This transaction is both at once. Local feedstock, local production, a real reduction that a company can put its name to. That is the argument I will be making in London this week, and we’re finding it’s one that more corporate leaders are ready to hear.”
Natasha Mann and Patrick Edmond, both key decision makers at Future Energy Global, are in London this week as part of London Climate Action Week, in a series of discussions on corporate Scope 3 and the scale up of SAF.
