Boeing to buy more than 22,700 tons of hybrid SAF from Neste

Boeing has agreed to purchase more than 22,700 tons of blended Neste MY sustainable aviation fuel in 2024 to support its U.S. commercial aircraft business operations and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Neste’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) volume is part of Boeing’s total blended SAF purchase of 9.4 million gallons, Boeing’s largest annual SAF purchase to date and a 60% increase from 2023.

The fuel blend, composed of 30% SAF and 70% conventional jet fuel, made from renewable waste and residual raw materials, will be supplied to Boeing by EPIC Fuels and Avfuel to support Boeing's EcoDemonstrator program and Boeing's U.S. commercial plan to operate flights through 2024.

"Sustainability remains a priority as our focus remains on safety and quality. Sustainable aviation fuels are critical to decarbonizing aviation. Approximately 20% of our fuel use is SAF blended fuel and we will continue to increase our use of this fuel to encourage growth in the SAF industry. We are also committed to making SAF more accessible and affordable for our commercial airline customers through collaboration, investment, research and policy development," said Ryan Faucett, Boeing vice president of environmental sustainability.

"Sustainable aviation fuels are a key lever in reducing aviation emissions. Partnering with aviation industry leaders like Boeing is critical to accelerating the use and production of SAF. We are proud to support their work with our partners EPIC Fuels and Avfuel," said Carrie Song, Neste’s senior vice president of commercial, renewable products.

The total amount of blended SAF purchased will be supplied to Boeing's commercial operations either directly or through book-and-claim. Boeing will receive approximately 12,000 tons of blended SAF produced by Neste to its fuel yards in the Pacific Northwest.

EPIC Fuels, a Signature Aviation company, will supply 2.5 million gallons and Avfuel will provide 1.5 million gallons of blended SAF from Neste. Boeing will also purchase SAF certificates corresponding to the emission reduction provided by the use of 3.5 million gallons of blended SAF produced by Neste through a book and claim system.
