FedEx has made a significant move towards enhancing sustainability in its air cargo operations by partnering with Neste, a Finnish company specializing in renewable and circular solutions. The deal involves the purchase of more than three million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over a year, with a minimum of 30% neat SAF, for cargo flights operating out of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). This initiative marks FedEx's first major deployment of SAF in the U.S., aligning with their goal to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2040. Karen Blanks Ellis, Chief Sustainability Officer at FedEx, emphasized the importance of procuring SAF to reduce aviation emissions, stating that the company's aviation network represents a significant portion of their global fuel consumption. Neste's sustainable aviation fuel, known as Neste MY SAF, is derived from renewable waste and residues, offering a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the fuel's life cycle. Neste aims to support FedEx in its carbon-neutral ambition, recognizing air cargo's role in the global economy. Carl Nyberg from Neste expressed excitement about collaborating with FedEx to drive environmental sustainability in the aviation industry. Neste's products, including Neste MY SAF and Neste MY Renewable Diesel, highlight the company's commitment to providing lower-emission solutions for the transport sector. The global production capacity of Neste's SAF stands at 1.5 million tons per year, showcasing the scalability of sustainable alternatives in aviation. Overall, the partnership between FedEx and Neste underscores the growing focus on green technology and corporate responsibility in the logistics sector. By leveraging sustainable aviation fuel, companies like FedEx are actively working towards reducing their environmental impact and fostering a more sustainable future for air cargo operations.
