Neste and HELLENiQ ENERGY, one among Southeast Europe’s leading energy groups, maintain collaborated to teach blended Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel to HELLENiQ ENERGY’s facilities in Thessaloniki. It’s the first time that blended sustainable aviation gas (SAF) is supplied to Greece in bulk the utilization of ships for transport.
The provision of the blended SAF will lengthen the provide and accessibility of sustainable aviation gas at airports for the length of Greece, providing airlines and passengers a resolution to nick greenhouse gas emissions from air fade back and forth. This provide is basically nicely timed, coinciding with the summer season vacationer season, a foremost duration for the Greek economic system.

This cooperation with HELLENiQ ENERGY to maintain our SAF to Greece no longer finest illustrates our commitment to supporting airlines within the Southeast European location but moreover the importance of cooperation with ambitious partners to lengthen SAF availability and adoption. We’re taking a gaze ahead to extra growing our cooperation with HELLENiQ,” talked about Alexander Kueper, Vice President Renewable Aviation Industry at Neste.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel
