Neste will provide Amazon with 2.5 million gallons of neat Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel at San Francisco International Airport and Ontario airport through to the end of this year.
The agreement makes Amazon the first airline to purchase and use SAF at Ontario airport.
Amazon and Neste started working together in 2021 when Neste delivered SAF to Amazon at Cologne Bonn Airport.
Neste’s SAF is blended with conventional jet fuel and supplied to Amazon Air at both airports.
Fuel at San Francisco airport is delivered directly via existing pipelines and the fuel for Amazon’s operations in Ontario is delivered to the airport by trucks from Neste’s SAF terminal facilities in Los Angeles.
Diesel Direct delivers the SAF from the Los Angeles terminal in trucks fuelled by Neste’s renewable diesel.
Carl Nyberg, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Renewable Products at Neste said: “This milestone sends a positive signal that SAF is available to airlines and cargo operators, like Amazon Air at these airports. Our supply chain solution for these California gateways builds on our existing SAF supply capabilities on the West Coast in the USA, and leverages our partnership with Diesel Direct to transport SAF by trucks running on renewable diesel.”
