Neste, a leading producer of renewable fuels, has significantly enhanced its capability to supply sustainable aviation fuel to European customers through a collaboration with VTTI, a global leader in energy storage and infrastructure development. Neste has commissioned terminal capacity at VTTI’s ETT terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, for the storage and blending of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™.
This strategic move marks a crucial step in expanding the availability of Neste’s SAF across Europe. It aligns with Neste’s broader efforts to scale up global SAF production and supply capabilities. The company’s renewables refinery in Singapore is ramping up SAF production, and modifications to its Rotterdam renewables refinery to enable SAF production are nearing completion.
The terminal in Rotterdam, situated in one of Europe’s largest fuel logistics hubs, offers access to the extensive European fuel infrastructure, including the Central European Pipeline System. This integration will facilitate a more sustainable and efficient fuel supply to customers and airports throughout Europe.
“Neste is fully committed to supporting the aviation industry in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and sustainable aviation fuel is a key lever to achieve this,” said Alexander Kueper, vice president of Renewable Aviation Business at Neste. “This expansion of our supply capabilities enables our customers to accelerate SAF usage at European airports and lays a strong foundation for fulfilling the requirements of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, which mandates a minimum share of SAF supply to European airports from 2025 onwards. It also shows how we are working together with partners like VTTI to repurpose existing fuel distribution infrastructure for more sustainable alternatives like SAF.”
Jaap Koomen, senior vice president of VTTI Netherlands Terminals, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. “It is great to see the demand for more sustainable fuels rising. We’re delighted to play a role in Neste’s value chain so that they can reach even more of their customers across Europe. By 2028, our aim is to have half of our business in transitional and sustainable energies, and by having partners like Neste, who are also committed to the energy transition, it puts us one step closer to a more sustainable future.”
This collaboration between Neste and VTTI represents a significant advancement in the distribution and adoption of sustainable aviation fuel, supporting both companies’ commitment to fostering a more sustainable energy future.
