This is the first direct supply of Neste’s SAF to airlines at Changi Airport.

Following the completion of Neste’s expansion of its Singapore refinery in May 2023, the facility can produce up to one million tonnes of SAF per year, making it the largest SAF production site globally.

Neste’s SAF is made from 100% renewable waste and residue materials, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% throughout its life cycle. It can be easily mixed with conventional jet fuel and utilized with current infrastructure and engines.
