With a focus on innovation, Avfuel is leading the mission to further industry advancements, including bringing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to market. Toward this effort, Avfuel is proud to partner with Neste—a leading provider of renewable and circular solutions—to bring its Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel product to Avfuel’s customer base.

Together, Avfuel and Neste are responding to aviation’s demand for SAF, supporting aviation’s sustainability goals and enhancing supply availability at a commercial scale, filling an immense gap in the industry’s supply chain. But more than a new supply chain, the companies’ partnership affords a meaningful way to help fight climate change.

• Avfuel supplies SAF in partnership with Neste, which produces the concentrated Neste MY SAF product and blends it with petroleum-based jet fuel.      
• This fuel is tested and certified for quality, and to ensure it meets ASTM D1655 (jet fuel) standards.
• The SAF offers an immediate way to directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft, requiring no new investments, modifications or changes to procedures; SAF works seamlessly with existing fueling infrastructure and aircraft engines. 
• Avfuel uses its logistical distribution expertise to supply Neste MY SAF to its customer base. 
• Over the course of the partnership, Neste will provide Avfuel with SAF in volumes able to meet the growing demands of Avfuel’s customers, including FBOs, airports, flight departments, OEMs and commercial/cargo operators. This allows Avfuel to arrange supply to customers on a consistent basis.
• Avfuel’s supply of Neste MY SAF is made from 100% renewable, sustainably-sourced waste and residue materials, such as used cooking oils, grease and rendered animal fats. 
• In its pure form, Neste MY SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to petroleum-based jet fuel. 
• Once blended at a 35% ratio, Avfuel anticipates a 22 metric ton reduction in life cycle carbon emissions per truck load.

Refer to the Avfuel/Neste Partnership FAQs for more information, as well as the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Guide for further educational materials on SAF.

Neste has more than a decade of experience making SAF, and even more in renewable fuels. It is a recognized leader with a strong, proven track record of safety and sustainability. 

Primarily on the West Coast of the U.S. from a terminal in Northern California; customers outside of this region will soon be able to purchase the fuel via Avfuel’s book and claim model, coming in 2021.
