Swedish airports pushing hard for aviation biofuel with new campaign

December 19, 2018 |

In Sweden, starting December 19 bio aviation fuel will be used for a couple of days at Swedish airports Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Göteborg Landvetter Airport, Bromma Stockholm Airport, Visby Airport and Luleå Airport. Swedavia is one of only a few companies in the world that have been supplied with aviation biofuel during 2018. Swedavia’s delivery of biofuel, made from used cooking oil, will refuel aircrafts at five of the company’s airports in December. That makes these Swedavia airports some of the only ones in the world that will use a percentage of biofuel to refuel aircraft serving them during 2018.

Swedavia aims at all ten of the company’s airports shall be fossil-free by 2020, which is being achieved above all through large-scale investments in biofuel for and electrification of all ground vehicles. Another of the company’s targets is that five per cent of all fuel used to refuel aircraft at Swedish airports shall be fossil-free by 2025 – a goal that is line with the air transport industry’s work for fossil-free air travel. In Sweden, the industry’s goal is for domestic air travel to be fossil-free by 2030 and for all air travel in the country to be fossil-free by 2045.

Swedavia purchases the biofuel from the Fly Green Fund, which provides companies and individuals with the opportunity to buy bio aviation fuel for their flights. The fuel was produced by World Energy and delivered by SkyNRG in partnership with Shell.
