Neste has commissioned terminal capacity at ONEOK’s terminal in Houston for blending and storing its SAF. Neste now has approximately 33.6 million gallons of SAF storage capacity at the facility with direct connection to pipeline infrastructure.
Boeing has released guidance to defense customers that company-built military aircraft can operate on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at currently approved limits of up to 50% blend with conventional fuel.
American Airlines consumed 2.7 million gallons of SAF in 2023, according to its 2023 Sustainability Report. While that volume of SAF use was up 4% when compared to 2022, it accounted for less than 1% of total fuel use during the year.
Air New Zealand in late June received a shipment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into Wellington, its first delivery to the nation's capital city and another small step towards its target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Neste has supplied SAF to Emirates for flights departing from Singapore Changi Airport. With this, Emirates becomes the first international visiting carrier using SAF supplied at the airport from Neste’s Singapore refinery.
