Neste and United Airlines Extend Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supply Agreement
Neste and United Airlines have extended their agreement for the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The extension covers fuel deliveries from Chicago O’Hare and Amsterdam Schiphol airports, reinforcing the companies' strategic collaboration.
Renewable fuels producer Neste and airline United Airlines have extended their existing agreement for the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), blended with conventional jet fuel. The renewed agreement ensures Neste's SAF will continue to be supplied for United's flights departing from Chicago O’Hare International Airport in the United States and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands.
The extension reinforces the long-term, strategic partnership between Neste and United. This collaboration highlights a shared ambition to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from aviation. Neste is a significant producer of renewable aviation fuel, and its products are crucial for the aviation industry's transition towards lower emissions.
United Airlines has been a frontrunner among major airlines in adopting SAF. The company has set ambitious goals for emissions reduction, and agreements with producers like Neste are vital to achieving these targets. The continuation of this supply agreement signifies a sustained commitment from both parties to their shared environmental objectives.
Neste's SAF is produced from waste and residue materials, such as used cooking oil and animal fats. It offers a significant reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuel. The extension of this agreement supports the aviation industry's broader shift towards cleaner energy solutions globally.
