Neste started producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its renewables refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Neste, the world’s leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), has started producing SAF at its renewable products refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The refinery has been modified to enable Neste to produce up to 500,000 tons of SAF per annum. As a result, Neste’s global SAF production capability has increased to 1.5 million tons (around 1.875 billion liters) per annum.
“It is clear that we need to continue making progress in mitigating climate change and addressing aviation’s climate impact. Neste is fully committed to supporting its customers in the aviation industry to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and this milestone underlines that commitment. Our SAF production capability, now also in Rotterdam, enables us to significantly contribute to the implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation and similar SAF mandates. Policies like these are crucial to ramping-up SAF production and usage, and we need to keep our ambitions and targets high. At the same time it requires support and close cooperation across the whole aviation ecosystem to accelerate the energy transition and related emission reductions,” said Heikki Malinen, President and CEO of Neste.
Neste continues investing in renewable fuels production capacity
In addition to the recent modifications to the refinery, Neste continues its strategic growth investment project in Rotterdam which will more than double the company’s production capacity at the Rotterdam refinery to 2.7 million tons of renewable products annually, making the refinery the world’s largest facility producing renewable diesel and SAF. This expansion, scheduled to be completed in 2027, will increase Neste’s total global annual renewable fuels production capacity to 6.8 million tons with Neste’s total annual SAF production capability accounting for 2.2 million tons. In addition to the Rotterdam refinery, Neste has SAF production capabilities at its refineries in Singapore and Porvoo, Finland.
