Neste extends SAF supply with Amazon Air deal

Neste has reached an agreement with Amazon to provide 7,500 metric tons (2.5 million gallons) of neat Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™ for its Amazon Air cargo operations at San Francisco International Airport and Ontario International Airport through to the end of 2025.
This agreement makes Amazon the first company to purchase and use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at Ontario International Airport.
Amazon has made an ambitious commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions across its global operations by 2040.
The agreement to use SAF in California is part of a broader cooperation between Amazon and Neste that started four years ago when Neste delivered SAF to Amazon at Cologne Bonn Airport in 2021.
Neste’s SAF is blended with conventional jet fuel and supplied to the Amazon Air network at both airports. The first volumes were successfully delivered earlier this year.
“We are excited to provide SAF to Amazon Air at two major airports in California. This milestone sends a positive signal that SAF is available to airlines and cargo operators, like Amazon Air at these airports.
“Our supply chain solution for these California gateways builds on our existing SAF supply capabilities on the West Coast in the US, and leverages our partnership with Diesel Direct to transport SAF by trucks running on renewable diesel. This demonstrates how renewable fuels can help our customers easily reduce greenhouse gas emissions across different transportation modes,” said Carl Nyberg, senior vice-president, commercial, renewable products at Neste.
