Emirates expands SAF partnership with Neste
Emirates is further ramping up its use of sustainable aviation fuel.
The airline has expanded its partnership with biofuel supplier Neste with an order for over three million gallons of blended Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel in 2024 and 2025.
The sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which will be blended with conventional jet fuel, will power flights departing from Amsterdam Schiphol and Singapore Changi airports.
Emirates’ expanded partnership with Neste represents the largest volume of SAF to be uplifted of any airline based in the Middle East and Africa to date.
The blended SAF will comprise over one million gallons of neat SAF.
This represents a blended ratio of over 30% neat SAF combined with conventional jet fuel.
Before the end of this year, the airline will also uplift SAF for the first time from its Dubai hub.
Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said:”This is a milestone for Emirates and represents the acceleration of SAF procurement for our operations.”
“It’s also one of the many initiatives we are focused on to reduce our carbon emissions.”
Earlier this year, Emirates, in partnership with Neste and other stakeholders, successfully completed the first 100% SAF-powered demonstration flight in the region.
The airline’s first flight powered by SAF blended with jet fuel took place in 2017 from Chicago.
Since then, the airline has also uplifted SAF for flights from Stockholm, and currently operates flights from Paris, Lyon and Oslo with blended SAF.
