World Fuel Services to supply 5.15M liters of SAF to UK’s Ministry of Defence

In the UK, World Fuel Services will supply the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MOD) with a further 5,150,000 liters (5,150m3) of aviation fuel. The supplied fuel is blended with approximately 40% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), sourced from Neste, with the renewable part of the feedstock being produced from Used Cooking Oil (UCO), or Animal Fat (AF) Category 1, 2 or 3 on a mass balance basis. This follows a collaboration between World Fuel and the UK MOD that saw the successful delivery of 4,000,000 liters of SAF between November 2023 and February 2024. 

Under the follow-on agreement, World Fuel will deliver 5,150,000 litres of SAF directly to the UK MOD over the period from July to September 2024. Prior to the previous delivery of 4,000,000 litres of SAF, SAF deliveries had only been in small parcels transported by truck via ferry and used for testing or single exhibit flights. The 2023-24 agreement was the first UK MOD program with a large volume commitment.
