Finnair will fly the first biofuel flights backed by its “Push for change” carbon decreasing initiative this week.
On both August 5th and 7th, the Finnair flight departing San Francisco Airport bound for Helsinki, Finland, will be flown with a biofuel mix of 12%, reducing the total C02 emissions for the two flights by approximately 32 tons.
Finnair's biofuels partners in San Francisco are SkyNRG and World Energy; Shell Aviation has provided logistics and supply chain support for the project. The sustainable biofuel is produced from used cooking oil in California, which does not compete with food production or the agriculture industry.
