Neste and World Fuel Services have announced a new five-year extension to their existing agreement, paving the way for Neste-supplied sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to be made available to more than 100 airports across the UK and Europe.
The agreement, which builds on a longstanding collaboration between the two firms, combines World Fuel’s existing aviation fuel supply distribution network and Neste’s SAF production and supply capabilities, which includes a renewable fuels refinery in Rotterdam capable of producing up to 500,000 tons of SAF annually.
In a statement, the groups noted that the extended agreement also supports regulatory requirements such as the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation and the UK SAF mandate.
“By combining our extensive European network with Neste’s growing SAF production, we are strengthening the supply foundation our customers rely on as regulatory requirements accelerate across the region,” commented Duncan Storey, World Fuel’s senior vice president, EMEA. “This agreement enhances our ability to deliver consistent, scalable access to SAF where it’s needed most.”
Elsewhere, Carl Nyberg, senior vice president, Commercial, Renewable Products at Neste, added that the collaboration is “crucial” to supporting the aviation industry’s efforts in reducing emissions and meeting current mandates.
“As Neste is scaling its SAF production capability from 1.5 to 2.2 million tonnes per annum in 2027, leveraging World Fuel’s extensive network of airports in Europe will increase the availability and flexibility of SAF supply for airlines,” he said.
Neste’s SAF is made from 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials, such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste. Today, Neste’s global SAF production capability is 1.5 million tonnes per annum, and it is set to grow to 2.2 million tonnes in 2027. The group reported revenues of €19 billion in 2025.
