Boeing buys 5.6 million gallons of SAF to support its U.S. operations this year

In Washington, Boeing said it has agreements to purchase 5.6 million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel produced by Neste to support its U.S. commercial operations through 2023. The company noted that these agreements more than double the company’s SAF procurement from last year. “We are demonstrating our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint and catalyze the SAF industry,” said Sheila Remes, Boeing vice president of Environmental Sustainability. “This SAF procurement makes up 25% of Boeing’s total jet fuel needs for last year including our production, delivery, Boeing ecoDemonstrator, and Dreamlifter flights, and we aim to increase that portion in the years to come.” The purchase agreements include supply of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel which is blended with conventional jet fuel at a 30/70 ratio to produce the blended SAF. In 2021, Boeing had committed to deliver its commercial airplanes capable and certified to fly on 100% SAF by 2030.
