Norwegian Air will use a 15 per cent blend of biofuels on more than 1 million trips by 2028

Norwegian Air says it is using biofuels for the first time in business travel in the defence sector at Oresund Vigra Airport.

By 2028, it will use a 15 per cent blend of biofuels on more than one million business trips. The airline said it was the largest agreement of its kind in Norwegian history and likely the first under the NATO framework.

Currently, Norwegian Air has delivered one million litres of biofuel to Ålesund Airport with the help of Finnish energy group St1 and fuel supplier AFSN. By 2024, these biofuels will meet 15 per cent of the total consumption of more than 250,000 business trips in the defence sector and will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 2,000 tonnes this year.

Norway has chosen to purchase short-haul biofuels from the new biorefinery at St1 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
