Following the success of its SAF fly-in during EBACE Geneva in May 2019, Air BP is also making SAF available to general and business aviation customers as well as aircraft manufacturers at Stockholm Arlanda airport.
Derived from non-palm renewable and sustainable raw materials, the fuel is made by leading fuels producer, Neste, and supplied by Air BP. It can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over its life cycle compared with conventional jet fuel. Air BP signed a collaboration agreement with Neste in October 2018 to explore opportunities to increase the supply and availability of SAF for airline customers.
In 2016 Air BP created a strategic partnership with Fulcrum BioEnergy with an initial investment of US$30m. The Californian company is building its first plant in Reno, Nevada, which will produce sustainable transport fuel made from household waste. Fulcrum intends to construct additional facilities and ultimately, plans to supply Air BP with over 50m US gallons of SAF per year.
