Neste Oil joins Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy

April 5, 2012 |

In Finland, Neste Oil joined the Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy (AIREG), a network of oil companies, airlines, airplane and engine manufacturers, research institutions, and universities working to advance the development and deployment of renewable liquid fuels in aviation.

In summer 2011, the company produced its first batches of premium quality jet fuel from renewable raw materials and became one of the very few oil companies in the world capable of producing this fuel at commercial scale. The company recently ended a 6-month test period with Lufthansa during which Neste Oil’s NExBTL renewable aviation fuel was tested on over 1,100 flights between Frankfurt and Hamburg, and on one intercontinental flight between Frankfurt and Washington D.C.
