contract with <strong>Airbus<\/strong> for the supply of sustainable aviation fuel, as well as conventional jet fuel and associated services, across Germany and Spain. The aviation fuel company says this is one of the largest voluntary offtakes of SAF by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The contract covers activities such as flight testing, customer deliveries, internal transport via the Beluga fleet, as well as the employee shuttle service that operates daily between Toulouse and Hamburg.<br><br><strong>Neste<\/strong> and <strong>World Fuel Services<\/strong> have extended their existing relationship with a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.cision.com\/neste\/r\/neste-extends-relationship-with-world-fuel-services-ensuring-the-availability-of-sustainable-aviatio,c4308330\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">five-year agreement<\/a> that will expand the supply of Neste\u2019s SAF at more than 100 airports across World Fuel\u2019s UK and European network to its commercial and business and general aviation customers. Neste\u2019s renewable fuels refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is currently capable of producing up to 500,000 tonnes of SAF annually. \u201cAs Neste is scaling its global SAF production capability from 1.5 to 2.2 million tonnes per annum in 2027, leveraging World Fuel\u2019s extensive network of airports in Europe will increase the availability and flexibility of SAF supply for airlines,\u201d said Carl Nyberg, SVP Commercial, Renewable Products at Neste.<br><br>Swiss synthetic aviation fuel company <strong>Metafuels<\/strong> has <a href=\"https:\/\/metafuels.ch\/knowledge-base\/24m-for-climate-neutral-flight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> a $24 million funding round to progress ambitions to bring its methanol-to-jet (MtJ) technology to market at commercial scale. The round is led by UVC Partners, with participation from existing investors including Energy Impact Partners, Contrarian Ventures, RockCreek, Verve Ventures and Fortescue Ventures. The capital, says Metafuels, will lay foundations needed for multi-plant deployment across Europe, including progressing facilities towards FEED, FID and implementation, as well as commercial and financial project development activities. Metafuels is currently preparing its MtJ demonstration plant at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland for operation, while advancing Turbe, its first commercial e-SAF facility in the Port of Rotterdam.<br><br>Dublin-based SAF market accelerator <strong>Future Energy Global<\/strong> (FEG) has <a href=\"https:\/\/fe.global\/news\/future-energy-global-and-artemeter-partner-on-saf-scope-3-trade-finance-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> the completion of a SAF Scope 3 transaction supported by structured trade finance from carbon investment management and advisory firm <strong>Artemeter<\/strong>. The transaction brings together a global airline and a major corporate purchaser (both unnamed) seeking to address business travel emissions through the retirement of SAF-derived Scope 3 credits. FEG originated and structured the underlying SAFc purchase and sale agreements, while Artemeter provided the capital required to execute and settle the transaction, enabling the timely execution of the trade and bridging the gap between certificate purchase and corporate settlement.<br><br>Swedish airports operator <strong>Swedavia<\/strong> says under its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swedavia.com\/about-swedavia\/the-purchase-of-bio-jet-fuel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">annual SAF procurement<\/a> round for 2025, a total of 300 tonnes of SAF were ordered, of which 215 tonnes were on behalf of Swedavia, which has annually procured SAF for all its business flights since 2016. Last year, Lule\u00e5 Municipality and Nordic ground handling company Aviator were new participants, while SOS Alarm, which is responsible for Sweden\u2019s emergency phone number, took part for the first time.

Combined, the agreements cover the equivalent of 5 million gallons of neat SAF. Through a contract with fuel provider <strong>World Fuel Services<\/strong>, FedEx will receive a total of 2 million neat gallons of SAF at DFW and JFK, to be delivered as a minimum 30% blend.

After achieving its target of a 30% reduction in aircraft emissions intensity from a 2005 baseline in FY24, the operator expanded the goal to a 40% reduction by 2034 through the use of SAF and other efficiency improvement projects such as aircraft modernisation and fuel saving operational initiatives.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News from around the world on developments in sustainable aviation fuels &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":8758,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[930,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regional-saf-news","category-sustainable-aviation-fuels"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG.jpg",2500,1667,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1024x683.jpg",640,427,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-2048x1366.jpg",2048,1366,true],"newsever-slider-full":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1280x845.jpg",1280,845,true],"newsever-featured":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1024x683.jpg",1024,683,true],"newsever-medium":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-720x475.jpg",720,475,true],"mailchimp":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-Regional-SAF-News-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-560x373.jpg",560,373,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"GreenAir Editorial","author_link":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?author=18"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?cat=930\" rel=\"category\">Regional SAF News<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?cat=39\" rel=\"category\">Sustainable Aviation Fuels<\/a>","tag_info":"Sustainable Aviation Fuels","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8540"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8759,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8540\/revisions\/8759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
