Lufthansa Group receives first SAF consignment through Central European Pipeline System

摘要

Brussels Airlines, part of the Lufthansa Group, has received the first delivery of sustainable aviation fuel to go through the NATO Central European Pipeline System, amid growing infrastructure for the renewable fuel in Europe. The first batch of SAF, from Neste, was loaded into the pipeline system as a ready-to-use blend with conventional jet fuel at Neste’s blending facilities in Ghent, Belgium, at the start of 2023. From there, the fuel was transported by Brussels Airlines via the pipeline to the general fuel storage at Brussels Airport, making SAF available for use by Brussels Airlines.
