Renewable jet fuel projects gain momentum in Finland

UPM, Neste and St1 are advancing plans to produce renewable jet fuel from forest industry residues. The shift aims to meet growing EU requirements for sustainable aviation fuel, known as SAF. In Lappeenranta, UPM Biofuels is preparing to start commercial production of SAF by refining its existing renewable diesel product. The facility currently produces renewable diesel from crude tall oil, a by-product of softwood pulp manufacturing.
