The world’s largest package delivery company DHL Express has signed a joint venture agreement with Neste Energy providing access to sustainable aviation biofuel produced at the Neste Bio-Refinery in Finland. This partnership enables DHL to offer customers a solution that combines environmental friendliness, sustainability, and operational benefits. By utilizing Neste Aviation Fuel, DHL offers its customers a greener and more cost-efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

In addition to offering an envi犀利士 ronmentally friendly energy solution, this partnership will enable DHL Express to further reduce its carbon footprint. In the future, the Company intends to use Neste Aviation Fuel to power one of its aircrafts at its base in Stockholm, Sweden.

Neste Energy operates the first international biomass refinery in Finland with a capacity of 70,000 barrels per day (bpd) – making it the largest biorefinery in Europe. The facility uses woody agricultural residues and other forest products as raw materials to produce renewable jet fuel. The production cycle takes approximately eight months from the time of processing until the fuel can be delivered to the customer.
