[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Neste, the world\u2019s largest producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced from waste and residue raw materials, is supplying\u00a0Alaska Airlines,\u00a0American Airlines\u00a0and\u00a0JetBlue Airways\u00a0with sustainable aviation fuel for flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The low-carbon and high-quality fuel will contribute to each airline\u2019s efforts to reach their climate goals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Neste is now successfully delivering\u00a0sustainable aviation fuel\u00a0to SFO via pipeline, a milestone the airport has called a \u201cclimate quantum leap\u201d. Once Neste\u2019s SAF enters SFO\u2019s fuel consortium storage, it is available to the commercial, cargo or business aviation entities that operate at the airport. Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and JetBlue Airways are the first major U.S. airlines to commit to adopt Neste\u2019s SAF at SFO, building on their strong track records of sustainability. All three airlines took their first deliveries of Neste\u2019s SAF at SFO within the last few weeks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cTogether we\u2019re moving the aviation industry toward a more sustainable future,\u201d said Thorsten Lange, executive vice president for Renewable Aviation at Neste. \u201cAviation, like many industries, is looking to reduce emissions and increase sustainable practices. Ultimately to make these moves, collaboration, and partnerships like this one are essential for long-term change, and Neste is proud to be working with these major U.S. carriers, who with us are taking a stand for sustainability.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In 2018, Neste joined SFO, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, other airlines and fuel producers in a groundbreaking agreement to increase the use of sustainable aviation fuel. Today, Neste and these partner airlines are delivering on that promise.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cAlaska was the first North American carrier to commit to advancing and adopting the use of SAF, and one of the first airlines to demonstrate the use of SAF in passenger flying with nearly 80 flights using sustainable aviation fuel over the last 10 years,\u201d said Diana Birkett Rakow, Alaska Airlines\u2019 vice president of external relations. \u201cAs we return to and re-grow air travel, we\u2019re thrilled to take this next step towards commercially viable supply and use of SAF. We have a long way to go. Being a responsible airline is critical to our employees, guests, communities, and our future \u2013 and using SAF is a key part of our strategy to reduce carbon emissions.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cEven in these difficult circumstances, setting up our airline to operate more sustainably is important to us, our team members and our customers,\u201d said David Seymour, chief operating officer for American Airlines. \u201cWe have a vision for the future of American that includes advancing the most promising options for reducing carbon emissions from air travel, and sustainable aviation fuel is chief among them. We have been working with Neste, a leader in renewable fuels, for a number of years, and we\u2019re proud to take this step to boost the market for sustainable jet fuel.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cAir travel connects people and cultures and supports a global economy. As an industry, we\u2019re working together to limit our contributions to climate change,\u201d said Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer, JetBlue Airways. \u201cReducing our greenhouse gas emissions is an important part of JetBlue Airways\u2019 business plan. We remain focused on long-term environmental opportunities, particularly lessening our largest impact \u2013 carbon emissions from flying. The airline industry is one of the few industries that has collectively committed to an international emissions reduction goal. Now more than ever, we must also support other industry-wide environmental improvements like sustainable aviation fuel in order to kick-start the market on these lower carbon fuels.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Neste\u2019s SAF\u00a0can be used as a drop-in fuel with existing aircraft engines and airport infrastructure, requiring no extra investment. In its neat form and over the lifecycle it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. It is made from sustainably sourced, 100% renewable waste and residue materials.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Neste\u2019s sustainable aviation fuel annual capacity is currently 100,000 tons (34 million gallons). With the Singapore refinery expansion on the way, and with possible additional investment into the Rotterdam refinery, Neste will have the capacity to produce some 1.5 million tonnes (515 million gallons) of SAF annually by 2023.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Prior to use, Neste\u2019s SAF is blended with fossil jet fuel and is then verified to meet ASTM jet fuel specifications. In addition to helping customers reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions, Neste has committed to making its production operations carbon neutral by 2035.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]source\uff1aF\uff06L[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
