JetBlue hails SAF supply at New York JFK
JetBlue along with fuel partners marked the first-ever regular supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at New York’s JFK.
This is a milestone for SAF availability in the Northeast, the airline says.
It follows JetBlue’s 12-month agreement with World Fuel Services for at least 1 million gallons of neat SAF to be provided by Valero Marketing and Supply Company.
JetBlue’s SAF supply is made possible through corporate business partners who help cover the cost premium over traditional jet fuel.
An additional 4 million gallons of neat SAF is possible under the terms of the deal.
“JFK has been JetBlue’s home for 25 years, and should set the standard we envision for our entire network.” said Ursula Hurley, chief financial officer, JetBlue.
“Incorporating SAF into our flights is an important lever in decarbonizing the aviation industry and expanding its availability to our Northeast airports is a big step.”
Diamond Green Diesel LLC produces the fuel and Valero then blends it with conventional jet fuel to create blended SAF.
The blended SAF is then delivered by World Fuel via existing jet fuel distribution infrastructure.
Blended SAF is a drop-in product for existing aircraft and infrastructure and can lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to approximately 80%.
The delivery of SAF to the New York region was first explored in a 2021 study by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the National Renewable Energy Lab.
It evaluated the ways in which SAF could be transported to Port Authority airports using existing fueling infrastructure.
“The Port Authority looks forward to continue working with our partners as we all strive toward more environmentally friendly air travel,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton.
