据烃加工新闻8月16日消息称，芬兰能源公司Neste周四在一份声明中宣布，该公司将为旧金山国际机场(SFO)的三家主要美国航空公司提供可再生航空燃料。
Neste是世界上最大的可再生柴油和可持续航空燃料(SAF)生产商，这些燃料是用废弃物和残渣原料生产。
该公司为阿拉斯加航空公司、美国航空公司和捷蓝航空公司提供低碳和高质量的燃料，以“为每家航空公司实现其气候目标做出贡献”。
该公司表示，燃料将通过管道运往SFO，“这一里程碑被机场称为‘气候的量子飞跃’。”
Neste可再生航空执行副总裁Thorsten Lange在声明中说：“我们共同推动航空业走向一个更可持续的未来。”
阿拉斯加航空公司对外关系副总裁Diana Birkett Rakow表示：“阿拉斯加是北美首家致力于推进和采用SAF的航空公司，而且是第一个在客运飞行中演示使用SAF的航空公司之一，在过去10年里有近80次飞行使用可持续航空燃料。”
捷蓝航空公司总裁兼首席运营官Joanna Geraghty表示：“减少温室气体排放是捷蓝航空商业计划的重要组成部分。我们仍然专注于长期的环境机遇，FC，尤其是减轻我们最大的影响-飞行产生的碳排放。”

Neste to supply sustainable aviation fuel to 3 US airlines
The Finnish energy company Neste is providing three major US airlines with renewable aviation fuel for flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the company announced in a statement on Thursday.
Neste is the world’s largest producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced from waste and residue raw materials.
The company is supplying low-carbon and high-quality fuel to Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and JetBlue Airways to “contribute to each airline’s efforts to reach their climate goals.”
The fuel is being delivered to SFO via pipeline, “a milestone the airport has called a ‘climate quantum leap’,” the company said.
“Together we’re moving the aviation industry toward a more sustainable future,” Thorsten Lange, Executive Vice President for Renewable Aviation at Neste, was quoted as saying in the statement.
“Alaska was the first North American carrier to commit to advancing and adopting the use of SAF, and one of the first airlines to demonstrate the use of SAF in passenger flying with nearly 80 flights using sustainable aviation fuel over the last 10 years,” said Diana Birkett Rakow, Alaska Airlines’ vice president of external relations.
“Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is an important part of JetBlue Airways’ business plan. We remain focused on long-term environmental opportunities, particularly lessening our largest impact – carbon emissions from flying,” said Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer, JetBlue Airways.
