“HELLENiQ Energy was the first to ensure the supply of Neste’s sustainable aviation fuel in Greece, already back in 2022. The expansion of the collaboration with Neste is in line with our group’s strategic goal to become a provider of low-carbon energy solutions and to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. Our aim is to facilitate aviation fuel suppliers, airlines, and airports to prepare in a proactive manner for the upcoming European Union SAF mandate targets starting in 2025. This effort started two years ago when our subsidiary EKO began for the first time in Greece supplying AEGEAN aircraft with SAF for flights departing from Thessaloniki Airport “Makedonia”, making it the 7th airport in the world where a SAF-fueled flight was realized. Now, this effort is expanding to the entire industry in Greece with even larger volumes, and at more airports,” said Diomidis Stamoulis, senior director strategic planning of industrial activities and participations at HELLENiQ Energy.

“Sustainable aviation fuel is a readily available solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from air travel. This cooperation with HELLENiQ Energy to supply our SAF to Greece not only illustrates our commitment to supporting airlines in Southeast Europe but also highlights the importance of cooperation with ambitious partners to increase SAF availability and adoption. We’re looking forward to further developing our cooperation with HELLENiQ,” said Alexander Kueper, vice president renewable aviation business at Neste.
