World Fuel Services (World Fuel) will supply the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) with a further 5,150,000 litres of aviation fuel.
The supplied fuel is blended with approximately 40% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), sourced from Neste.
This follows a collaboration between World Fuel and the UK MoD that saw the successful delivery of 4,000,000 litres of SAF between November 2023 and February this year.
The collaboration between World Fuel and the UK MoD marked the first step towards advancing the use of renewables and demonstrated World Fuel’s commitment to providing SAF supply in larger volumes to military organisations who demand it.
Establishing the routine procurement of aviation fuel blended with SAF is a critical early step to achieving defence’s net-zero aviation strategy.
This work is being led by the RAF on behalf of Defence and closely aligns with the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Jet Zero strategy, where a mandated incorporation of a growing proportion of SAF in the aviation fuel supply chain will form a major part of the UK and Ministry of Defence’s aviation decarbonisation pathway.
