Singapore Airlines says it will buy 1,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Neste, the first purchase of the low-carbon jet fuel from the Finnish firm’s Changi refinery.
The carrier says it will purchase the SAF to blend with conventional fuel for use by the airline and its budget arm Scoot, according to a joint statement.
The Neste refinery’s expansion at Changi was completed last year, and it now has a production capacity of a million tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel a year, making it the largest such facility in the world.
Neste will start delivering SAF to Changi Airport’s fuel hydrant system in the second quarter and then in the fourth quarter, the statement says.
SAFs are made from renewable waste and residue raw materials and cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over the fuel’s life cycle.
