Netse to produce biofuel for KLM out of cooking oil

[Press release, KLM LINK] KLM has purchased sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for flights out of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Sustainable fuel is produced by Neste from used cooking oil and will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80 % compared to fossil kerosene. This purchase is the next step in the use of sustainable fuel, as it is the first time the fuel will be supplied using the existing infrastructure at Schiphol. Furthermore, Neste is joining KLM’s Corporate BioFuel Programme. In doing so, Neste will reduce the CO2 emissions of its own business travel on KLM flights by 100%.
