Neste, World Fuel Services to deliver SAF at over 100 EU airports

Finnish renewable fuels producer Neste has extended its existing relationship with World Fuel Services with a five-year agreement to expand availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at more than 100 airports across UK and Europe.

“This agreement enhances our ability to deliver consistent, scalable access to SAF where it’s needed most,” says Duncan Storey, World Fuel’s senior vice president, EMEA.

The extended agreement helps support World Fuel’s ability to secure SAF supply and comply with regulatory requirements, including the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation and the UK SAF mandate.

“As Neste is scaling its SAF production capability from 1.5 to 2.2m tons per annum in 2027, leveraging World Fuel’s extensive network of airports in Europe will increase the availability and flexibility of SAF supply for airlines,” says Carl Nyberg, senior vice president, Commercial, Renewable Products at Neste.

Through World Fuel’s network, SAF will be available to its commercial, business and general aviation customers across its customers in Europe and the UK.

The agreement builds on a long-standing collaboration between the two companies, combining aviation fuel supply distribution and infrastructure capabilities.

This includes Neste’s renewable fuels refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, currently capable of producing up to 500,000 tons of SAF annually.
