Delivery of 78m litres of sustainable aviation fuel on its way to Air Canada

Air Canada has signed an agreement with Neste to purchase 77.6m litres (20.5m U.S. gallons) of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel as it continues to pursue its climate plans and aspirations. Air Canada’s President and CEO, Michael Rousseau said: “Air Canada is actively pursuing efforts to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions and SAF is a critical component of our multifaceted approach to reducing our impact on the environment and promoting environmental sustainability in our operations. This SAF purchase from Neste contributes significantly to our target of procuring SAF for one per cent of our estimated jet fuel use in 2025. While Air Canada and the Canadian aviation industry will continue to depend on imported SAF, SAF must also become available at scale in Canada to achieve our long-term aspirational goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This is why we at Air Canada are asking federal and provincial governments to play a role and support the development of a competitive SAF industry and production market in Canada.” Neste, one of the world’s leading producers of SAF, will deliver the neat SAF purchased in a blended form to the Vancouver marine terminal starting next month, with further shipments throughout 2025.<br/>
