Sweden: Stockholm Arlanda Airport introduces biofuel as standard

Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport has begun to mix biofuel with normal jet kerosene in its fuel bunkers as standard procedure. The first uptake of the new fuel, which contains around 10% biofuel converted from used cooking oil and is produced in California, was uplifted Jan 3 by an SAS Airbus A320neo. Stockholm Arlanda joins Oslo Gardermoen in offering the more environmentally friendly fuel. Swedavia, the Swedish state-owned organisation that owns and operates 10 airports throughout the country, bought the fuel through the Fly Green Fund, an organisation that brings together aviation and biofuel bodies to help encourage the use of the fuel in Nordic nations. KLM and Braathens Regional Airlines will also be using the new biofuel at Arlanda. <br/>
