World Fuel Services provides SAF to the UK Ministry of Defense

In the UK, World Fuel Services said it will supply the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (UK MOD) with a further 5,150,000 liters of aviation fuel. The supplied fuel is blended with approximately 40% SAF sourced from Neste, with the renewable part of the feedstock being produced from Used Cooking Oil (UCO), or Animal Fat (AF) Category 1, 2 or 3 on a mass balance basis. This follows a collaboration between World Fuel and the UK MOD that saw the successful delivery of 4,000,000 liters of SAF between November 2023 and February 2024. “World Fuel is committed to collaboration and investment to help our defense customers transition to renewables. Defense agreements like the Inverness SAF program demonstrate our ability to access our extensive supply chain capabilities and deliver renewables where our military customers are ready,” said John Wynn, senior vice president, government solutions, World Fuel Services. “Our experience in defense fuel supply chains was honed in Afghanistan, where we supported NATO. Most recently, we were awarded the Australian Defense Forces’ deployable bulk fuel distribution system. We applaud the UK RAF for their leading efforts demonstrated by raising the bar with larger volumes and longer commitments. As this continues, SAF use will become more common throughout the Commonwealth’s Defense organizations.”
