Air bp, the international aviation fuel products and services supplier and Neste, the world\u2019s \u200elargest producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), have signed an \u200eagreement to offer an increased volume of sustainable aviation fuel to airport customers in \u200e\u200e2020 and 2021. The volume is five times larger than that supplied by the businesses in \u200e\u200e2019. Air bp will make the Neste-produced SAF available at selected airports in Europe, \u200ewith deliveries to airports including Stockholm (ARN) and Oslo (OSL) expected to begin in \u200ethe coming weeks.\u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n

The increased supply of SAF comes in response to rising demand from existing and new \u200eairline customers, as well as from Norway, where there is a mandate requiring 0.5% of all jet \u200efuel sold to be SAF. \u200e<\/p>\n

Neste\u2019s SAF<\/a> is produced from 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials. In its neat \u200eform and over the lifecycle, it can reduce up to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions compared \u200eto conventional jet fuel. SAF undergoes the same quality tests as regular fossil jet fuel and \u200ecan be blended at up to 50% to fuel aircraft. Currently, SAF offers the only viable drop-in \u200ealternative to fossil liquid fuels for powering commercial aircraft.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u201cbp\u2019s ambition is to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to \u200enet zero. Air bp aims to support our customers and the wider aviation industry on their path \u200eto meet their low carbon goals. We believe sustainable aviation fuel will play an important \u200erole as the industry recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through our \u200esuccessful ongoing collaboration with Neste, we are pleased to be able to offer our \u200ecustomers a substantially increased volume of SAF as they work towards reducing their \u200eemissions\u201d, says Martin Thomsen, Air bp\u2019s chief executive officer.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic and its economic implications have not changed our ambition. \u200eWe remain fully committed to combating climate change by providing tangible, immediately \u200eavailable solutions for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of flying in cooperation with \u200eour partners. The use of sustainable aviation fuel will play a significant role in the industry\u2019s \u200eongoing efforts in making air transportation fit for the climate and environmental challenges \u200eit is facing. We are looking forward to continuing our close collaboration with Air bp and \u200ejointly contributing to a more sustainable aviation\u201d, says Thorsten Lange, Executive Vice \u200ePresident, Renewable Aviation at Neste.\u200e<\/p>\n

Neste\u2019s sustainable aviation fuel annual capacity is currently 100,000 tons. With their \u200eSingapore refinery expansion on the way, and with possible additional investment into their \u200eRotterdam refinery, Neste will have the capacity to produce some 1.5 million tons of SAF \u200eannually by 2023.\u200e<\/p>\n

Air bp<\/a> has supplied SAF since 2010 and, to date, has supplied more than 20 customers and \u200e\u200e16 airports globally, including Norway\u2019s Oslo Airport where it was the first to supply SAF \u200eproduced by Neste through the existing airport fueling infrastructure, in collaboration with \u200eother industry stakeholders.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200eIn 2018, Air bp and Neste announced plans to explore and develop supply chain solutions \u200efor delivering SAF to airports and airlines. As a next step in their collaboration, in April \u200e\u200e2019 they jointly developed a viable supply chain solution for sustainable aviation fuel to the \u200eSwedish market. This latest step in their cooperation will help to increase the availability of \u200eSAF at various airports through making best use of Air bp\u2019s and Neste\u2019s expertise in the \u200efields of production, blending, supply and safe operations.\u200e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
