National Wildlife Federation Celebrates Certified Sustainable Biofuel Flight Route Across Atlantic
Washington, DCThe National Wildlife Federation and the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) are pleased to announce a milestone in the sustainable biofuels industry and commercial air travel. A new KLM Royal Dutch Airlines route between Amsterdam and New York’s JFK is the first ever to use RSB certified fuel.
The fuel is supplied by SkyNRG, the first worldwide biofuel operator to achieve the RSB certification for their entire supply chain—“from feedstock to flight.” SkyNRG is the only fuel operator that can supply sustainable jet fuel into wing at any airport in the world.
The inaugural flight and this new RSB biofuels route demonstrate that there is a market for next generation sustainable biofuels.
“We are pleased that a full supply chain for RSB certified jet fuel is now available for regular use in commercial aviation,” says Barbara Bramble, Chair of the Board of the RSB and head of the International Climate and Energy Program at the National Wildlife Federation. “Congratulations to SkyNRG for achieving certification under the RSB system, which NWF believes provides the best assurance of biofuels’ sustainability. "SkyNRG can now assist airlines around the world to fulfill their pledges to reduce carbon emissions while meeting environmental and social safeguards.”
