KLM has announced a commitment with partners to produce and purchase sustainable aviation fuel manufactured at a new plant in Europe.

Neste and Air BP say they are ready to produce and supply decarbonised fuel for the country’s airlines and airports.

A new government report outlines the costs of using biofuels on flights and says Sweden should work closely with airlines.

The biofuel can cut fossil carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80%, but it’s shipped over all the way from the USA.

Using wind and temperature data, the airline says it can save 5,000 tonnes of fuel a year and reduce emissions by 16,000 tonnes.

The Swedish domestic carrier has just renewed a key ISO environmental certificate, which it has had for many years.

Air BP, which has a strong presence in the Nordics, and Helsinki-based Neste develop a sustainable aviation fuel supply chain.
