ZEERO Group (ZEERO), a sustainable technology and solutions provider, has joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Strategic Partnership Program, affirming its commitment to accelerate the decarbonisation of the travel industry.

As a new program member, ZEERO will use its multi-solution sustainably frameworks knowledge to help aviation stakeholders address environmental challenges, expanding opportunities for the industry to contribute with climate solutions.

ZEERO offers end-to-end services to 1,000 companies and 980,000 users, including reporting technology, biofuel production, and biowaste management. These initiatives are expected to support progress toward 2050’s zero carbon emissions goal and increasing production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), while ensuring technological advancement and policy support those efforts.

SAF is a critical solution for reducing aviation’s carbon footprint, but its limited availability and high costs pose challenges for the industry, as it operates on thin profit margins.

ZEERO’s biofuels provide more affordable alternatives to fossil fuel, allowing sustainability goals to be met in a cost-effective manner. In addition, its co-ownership and climate contributing funding model enables sector-wide collaboration, promoting clean-energy investment in SAF and aiding decarbonisation efforts.

Nico Nicholas, chief executive and co-founder of ZEERO said: “We are thrilled to join IATA’s Strategic Partnerships Program and contribute to the aviation industry’s sustainability mission. This collaboration represents a major step forward for ZEERO as we continue to pioneer scalable, high-impact solutions that integrate cutting-edge renewable energy technologies. By working alongside IATA and its members, we aim to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient aviation ecosystem.”

Dr. Preeti Jain, head of net zero research and programs at the IATA sustainability and economics division, added: “We are pleased to welcome ZEERO to the IATA Strategic Partnerships Program. Through our collaboration with ZEERO, we will work together to advance the aviation industry’s sustainability efforts by delivering innovative solutions that support net-zero and decarbonisation goals.”
