airports in France. This step was taken
in preparation of the 1 percent SAF mandate
introduced by the French government
and effective on Jan. 1, 2022.
The agreement combines Exxon " We
are excited to further expand our
Mobil's expertise in the supply and
distribution of jet fuel with Neste's market-leading
SAF production capabilities
to provide a continuous and scalable
supply of SAF into France.
Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel
is produced from sustainably sourced,
100 percent renewable waste and residue
raw materials, such as used cooking
oil and animal fat waste. When used at
100 percent concentration, Neste MY
Sustainable Aviation Fuel use results in
up to 80 percent lower greenhouse gas
emissions when all the emissions over
the fuel's life cycle are compared to
fossil jet fuel use. In this collaboration,
the SAF is a 30 percent blend with conventional
fossil-based jet fuel.
" We are delivering solutions that
enable customers to meet product performance
requirements while reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. We have the
capabilities and infrastructure to safely
and reliably supply this energy, and will
be ready to comply with new French
regulations for sustainable aviation fuel, "
said Charles Amyot, lead country manager
for ExxonMobil in France.
" Neste is committed to helping the
aviation industry with its emission
reduction targets. Our Neste MY Sustainable
Aviation Fuel is a drop-in solution
that is readily available now, " added
Jonathan Wood, vice president Europe,
renewable aviation at Neste. This supply
agreement is an important milestone
for Neste, and we are excited to support
ExxonMobil in helping their customers
reduce the greenhouse gas emissions
from the aviation sector in France. "
