To expand availability of its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply at airports in central and eastern parts of the US, Neste has commissioned terminal capacity at ONEOK’s terminal in Houston.
The new capacity at ONEOK’s terminal provides Neste with storage capacity of up to 100,000 tonnes and is directly connected to the energy pipeline infrastructure in the eastern part of the US.
“ONEOK is excited to deliver the energy products the world needs today, while innovating for tomorrow,” said Greg Lusardi, senior vice president, corporate development at ONEUK. “As a valued partner providing critical energy to the aviation industry, we’re proud to utilise our extensive infrastructure platform to facilitate growth within the sustainable fuels markets,” he continued.
The expansion of SAF supply capabilities further strengthens Neste’s commitment to supporting the aviation industry in the US in its efforts to decarbonise. “It provides a reliable basis for supplying SAF to domestic and visiting airlines at airports across the eastern part of the country as well as a solid base for supporting policies on state, federal and local levels in the US,” said Alexander Kueper, vice president, renewable aviation business at Neste.
In 2021 Neste demonstrated its ability to supply SAF to New York’s LaGuardia Airport using existing fuel distribution infrastructure. Then in September 2023, Neste commissioned terminal capacity in Los Angeles, further expanded its capability to supply renewable fuels to customers on the West Coast.
