Finnair reaches SAF purchase agreement with Aemetis
Finnair has signed a $70m contract with renewable fuels company Aemetis to procure 17.5m gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The SAF will be delivered to San Francisco International Airport under a seven-year agreement. Finnair Sustainability senior vice-president Eveliina Huurre said: “Finnair has set an ambitious long-term target to fly carbon neutral in 2045 and SAF is an important part of the toolkit for reaching this target. “Supporting SAF adoption is key to boosting the supply and demand for SAF and for increasing its usage in commercial aviation. The agreement also underlines the oneworld Alliance’s commitment to collectively source SAF.” The SAF will be produced at the Aemetis renewable jet/diesel plant, which is currently in the development phase at a former US Army Ammunition production plant site in Riverbank, California, US.<br/>
