Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) has for the first time used Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel for several cargo flights in November and December 2022. The sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is supplied by Neste at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands.
The flights with SAF are a result of NCA’s commitment to making consistent efforts to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, including using SAFs. SAF has been widely acknowledged as a key element in helping to achieve aviation’s emission reduction goals globally. It delivers the performance of conventional jet fuel but with a significantly smaller carbon footprint over the fuel’s life cycle.
Using Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over the fuel’s life cycle compared to using fossil jet fuel. Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel is produced from sustainably-sourced, 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials, including used cooking oil and animal fat waste. SAF is blended with conventional jet fuel and works seamlessly with existing fuelling infrastructure and aircraft engines. Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel is commercially-available and in use worldwide.
