 Boeing Company Strikes Blended Sustainable Fuel Deal


The Boeing company, which started test flights with sustainable aviation fuels in 2008, received commercial use approval for these fuels in 2011 and started to perform aircraft delivery flights with this fuel in 2012. In 2018, the company collaborated with the FedE as part of the Boeing ecoDemonstrator program and made the first test flight of a commercial airplane with the 777-type cargo plane, both engines of which are powered by 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel. As of 2019, the company started to offer its customers the option of serving with sustainable aviation fuel on commercial delivery flights.


By February 2023, the company announced that it had developed aircraft reference fluids that allow compatibility tests of sustainable aviation fuels. Thus, it has reached an important point in fulfilling its commitment to produce aircraft that can run on this type of fuel 100%.
 
Now, with an agreement with Neste company, it has committed to purchase 21.2 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel to be used in its commercial flights to the USA throughout 2023. Thus, he will have received twice as much from the fuel in question as he received last year. This amount of fuel corresponds to 25 percent of Boeing's jet fuel needs for last year's production, delivery, ecoDemonstrator and Dreamlifter flights.
 
The agreements include the purchase of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation FuelTM, which is produced from 100% renewable waste and raw material residues such as edible oil and animal fat waste. By mixing this product with conventional aviation fuel at a ratio of 30/70, a blended sustainable aviation fuel is obtained.
 
Boeing pledged in 2019 that it would deliver its commercial airplanes to enable certified flights on 100 percent sustainable aviation fuels by 2030.
