Neste Oil to promote the deployment of sustainable aviation biofuel in the
Netherlands
Neste Oil committed itself on 12 November, to a Dutch initiative aimed at the
deployment of sustainable biofuel in the aviation sector. The signatories of the
initiative include KLM, SkyNRG, Schiphol Airport, the Port of Rotterdam, the
State Secretary of Infrastructure and the Environment, and the Minister of
Economic Affairs. Neste Oil's role in the initiative is to explore the
production opportunities for aviation biofuel and scaling up production. Its
renewable fuel refinery in Rotterdam would potentially be the first site for
producing renewable aviation fuel in the Netherlands.
"Neste Oil is a global pioneer in aviation biofuels and has already carried out
trials on the use of NExBTL renewable aviation fuel in commercial service," says
Kaisa Hietala, Neste Oil's Vice President, Renewable Fuels. "We expect this new
initiative to stimulate market demand for sustainable aviation biofuel and
promote a shift from individual projects to the continuous production and supply
of sustainable aviation biofuel. The Netherlands is uniquely positioned to
enable this break-through because of the commitment of the public and private
sector in the aviation and biofuel industry."
Neste Oil's renewable aviation fuel is based on its NExBTL technology, which can
make very flexible use of a wide range of vegetable oil and waste-based raw
materials. Neste Oil ensures the sustainability of all the renewable raw
materials it uses and its supply chain complies with a number of sustainability
certification schemes.
NExBTL renewable aviation fuel meets the very stringent quality standards
demanded of aircraft fuel and can significantly reduce an aircraft's greenhouse
gas emissions compared to fossil fuel.
