Neste secures Houston terminal capacity to support SAF distribution in Eastern U.S

Leading sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer Neste has signed an agreement that will provide it with additional terminal capacity in Houston for the blending and storage of SAF. This development could potentially facilitate the flow of SAF to the Northeast U.S.

The new capacity at the ONEOK terminal offers approximately 33.5 million gallons of volume, directly connected to the fuel pipeline infrastructure serving the Eastern U.S. In 2022, a demonstration confirmed that the pipeline system could transport SAF from Texas to New York.

“Neste is fully committed to supporting the U.S. aviation industry in its efforts to decarbonize,” said Alexander Kueper, Neste’s vice president of renewable aviation. He added that this expansion of storage capability with supply chain partners such as ONEOK underscores that 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.”
