Singapore Airlines (SIA) has officially signed an agreement with Neste, an oil refining company, to supply 1,000 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
In a press release, carriers SIA and Scoot, which are both part of the group, will be the first ones to receive SAF from Neste’s refinery produced at Singapore Changi Airport.
Marking Neste’s first direct supply to airlines at Changi Airport, the oil company will blend SAF with conventional jet fuel according to the following safety specifications, and the blended fuel will be delivered in two batches, in the second and fourth quarters of this year, to the airport’s fuel hydrant system.
Made from 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials, SAF reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over the fuel’s life cycle.
SIA and Neste highlight the importance of this partnership, as both companies aim to have a more sustainable aviation industry in the future.
