Air bp and Neste are to increase the availability of SAF to various European airport customers in 2020 and 2021. Deliveries are expected to begin in the coming weeks with Stockholm (ARN) and Oslo (OSL) among the first recipients.
The increased supply of SAF, the volume is five times larger than that supplied by the businesses in 2019, comes in response to rising demand from existing and new airline customers, as well as from Norway, where there is a mandate requiring 0.5% of all jet fuel sold to be SAF.
“bp’s ambition is to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to net zero. Air bp aims to support our customers and the wider aviation industry on their path to meet their low carbon goals. We believe sustainable aviation fuel will play an important role as the industry recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Martin
Neste’s sustainable aviation fuel annual capacity is currently 100,000 tons. With their Singapore refinery expansion on the way, and with possible additional investment into their Rotterdam refinery, Neste will have the capacity to produce some 1.5 million tons of SAF annually by 2023.
