Deutsche Post AG said Wednesday that it has struck a deal with
Neste Oyj under which the Finnish company will supply it with
sustainable aviation fuels in the U.K. until mid-2022 as part of
its sustainability strategy.
The German freight-and-logistics group said it would invest
around 60 million euros ($69.6 million) to purchase SAFs for its
DHL Express division at the U.K.'s East Midlands Airport.
"This is a first step for the group to reach its ambitious 2030
target of meeting at least 30% of its fuel needs in aviation
through sustainable fuels," it said.
The investment will allow the company to save around 70,000 tons
of carbon dioxide, Deutsche Post said. The supplied sustainable
aviation fuel is produced from used cooking oil and avoids the use
of palm oil.
