Key Takeaways:
Neste and DHL have signed a landmark agreement for Neste to supply approximately 105 million gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to DHL over the next five years, marking Neste's largest SAF contract to date.
This deal strengthens an ongoing partnership, aiming to significantly reduce aviation emissions and contribute to the industry's long-term goals of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Neste is a leading producer of "drop-in" SAF from waste materials, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% and requires no modifications to existing aircraft engines, with the company expanding its production capacity to meet rising demand.
Industry leaders are advocating for increased government support and favorable policies globally to accelerate the production and market adoption of SAF.
