Alaska Airlines on Thursday said it would work with Shell PLC's Shell Aviation unit to expand the sustainable-aviation-fuel, or SAF, market beyond a standard fuel-supply agreement.

The Alaska Air Group Inc. unit said the agreement with Shell includes commitments to deepen understanding of the technology, infrastructure, carbon-accounting systems and public-policy support needed to bring SAF to more markets, in greater quantities and at a more sustainable long-term cost.

The carrier, which has set a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, said the companies would put particular focus on enabling supply to the West Coast and alleviating fueling-infrastructure challenges in the Pacific Northwest.

Alaska Airlines said Shell Aviation would also supply up to 10 million gallons of SAF to the carrier's hub in Los Angeles.
