Neste starts sustainable aviation fuel production at biorefinery in Rotterdam

Neste started the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its renewable refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The refinery has been modified to enable up to 500,000 tonnes of SAF production per year. This is a great news to enable the aviation sector to reach the ReFuelEU aviation targets and other SAF mandates. This new development leads Neste to increase its global SAF production capability to 1.5 million tonnes per year.

Neste has demonstrated its commitment to becoming one of the leaders in renewable products with continued investments in renewable fuel production capacity. The company plans on doubling the production capacity at the Rotterdam refinery to 2.7 million tonnes of renewable products annually with both renewable diesel and SAF. This expansion is scheduled to be completed in 2027 and will increase Neste’s total global annual renewable fuel production to 6.8 million tonnes.
