Neste and Air Canada have signed an agreement for the supply of 60,000 metric tons (77.6 million liters) of neat Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™. Neste will deliver the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blended with conventional jet fuel to the Vancouver marine terminal starting in December 2024, with further shipments throughout 2025. The Vancouver marine terminal has a direct pipeline connection to the fuel facilities at Vancouver International Airport enabling the use of the blended SAF at the airport.
The agreement builds on the existing partnership between the two companies and supports Air Canada’s environmental sustainability commitments which include a target to procure SAF to account for 1% of the airline’s estimated 2025 jet fuel use. In 2023, Neste supplied SAF purchased by Air Canada at San Francisco International Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
“Air Canada is actively pursuing efforts to mitigate its GHG emissions, and SAF is a critical component of our multifaceted approach to reducing our impact on the environment and promoting environmental sustainability in our operations. This SAF purchase from Neste contributes to our target of procuring SAF for one percent of our estimated fuel use in 2025,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive of Air Canada.
