On 12 November Neste Oil announced its committment 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 will explore the opportunities for scaling up the production of aviation biofuels. 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.”
