Muscat: As part of its continued commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction, OQ has partnered with DHL Express by joining the GoGreen Plus programme. Through this collaboration, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be used for DHL’s cargo shipments entering and leaving Oman; a meaningful step towards low-carbon logistics.
This initiative aligns with OQ’s long-term strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. Sustainable Aviation Fuel is produced from renewable resources, including used cooking oil and sugarcane, and can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30 percent compared to conventional jet fuel.
By joining GoGreen Plus, OQ reaffirms its role as a future-focused energy company that places sustainability at the core of its operations. The programme has recently received a sustainability award, recognising its environmental value and role in advancing greener supply chain solutions.
The partnership forms part of OQ’s wider sustainability agenda. OQ’s work spans a comprehensive decarburisation roadmap, adoption of clean energy, modernisation of logistics systems, and investment in circular economy projects.
In 2024, OQ also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a global alliance to explore the potential for producing sustainable fuels for land and air transport in Oman. The study aims to assess commercial viability and the possibility of establishing production facilities for electric and SAF using hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
