Key Takeaways:
Neste has signed its largest-ever Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) contract, agreeing to supply DHL with approximately 105 million gallons over the next five years to significantly reduce aviation emissions.
Neste, a leading SAF provider, produces a "drop-in" fuel from waste materials that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% and requires no modifications to existing aircraft engines.
This landmark agreement underscores both companies' commitment to the aviation industry's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with DHL also calling for increased government support and incentives to scale SAF production and adoption.
