Neste has commissioned terminal capacity at ONEOK’s terminal in Houston, Texas for blending and storing Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This development aims to expand the availability of Neste’s SAF to airlines operating from airports east of the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast.
The new capacity at ONEOK’s terminal in Houston provides Neste with storage capacity of up to 100,000 tons (around 33.5 million gallons) and is directly connected to the energy pipeline infrastructure in the eastern part of the U.S. In 2021, Neste demonstrated its ability to supply SAF to New York’s LaGuardia Airport using existing fuel distribution infrastructure. In September 2023, Neste also expanded its capability to supply renewable fuels on the West Coast by commissioning terminal capacity in Los Angeles, California.
“Neste is fully committed to supporting the U.S. aviation industry in its efforts to decarbonize. This expansion of our SAF supply capabilities working together with partners such as ONEOK along the fuel supply chain underlines this commitment. It provides a reliable basis for supplying SAF to domestic and visiting airlines at airports across the eastern part of the country as well as a solid base for supporting policies on state, federal, and local levels in the U.S.,” said Alexander Kueper, vice president of renewable aviation business at Neste.
