(Neste Oil) ?Neste Oil and Lufthansa tested Neste Oil?s NExBTL renewable aviation fuel on a total of 1,187 flights between Frankfurt and Hamburg last year and one intercontinental flight between Frankfurt and Washington D.C. this year. Factors such as fuel quality, aircraft performance, and fuel storability were studied during the flights, and the final results of the trial are now in.
Excellent aircraft and engine performance ? ?The key conclusion of the extensive tests carried out during the trial is that the aircraft and their engines performed excellently. The condition of the combustion chambers, turbines, and fuel systems of their engines was exemplary both during and at the conclusion of the trial. No signs of damage or corrosion were detected in the aircrafts? fuel tanks, and longer-term storage was not shown to have any negative impact on fuel quality. Usage of NExBTL fuel resulted in 1% lower fuel consumption compared to regular fossil jet fuel, thanks to the higher energy content of renewable aviation fuel. No quality or other issues related to NExBTL renewable aviation fuel emerged during the extensive analysis work.
The condition of the engines of the aircraft involved in the trial, together with aircraft performance, were monitored throughout the trial by the aircrafts? pilots, cabin staff, and ground-based maintenance personnel.
Interesting business opportunities ? ???The first commercial long-term use of aviation biofuel with more than 1,000 consecutive flights demonstrated that Neste Oil?s NExBTL renewable aviation fuel is ready for use in daily aircraft operation. Lufthansa is looking forward to continuing the partnership with Neste Oil in the future,? says Joachim Buse, Lufthansa?s Vice President, Biofuel.
?This has been an exceptionally interesting joint project for us,? continues Matti Lehmus, Neste Oil?s Executive Vice President, Oil Products and Renewables. ?Our renewable aviation fuel is a perfect example of the solutions that meet our customers? future needs and that we can offer them already today. We are extremely satisfied with the results of the trial, which confirm that NExBTL renewable aviation fuel is truly a premium-quality product. We will continue to work closely with Lufthansa and other stakeholders to commercialize the fuel, as we believe that it will offer interesting business opportunities in the future.? ?READ MORE
