Finnair postpones introduction of biofuel
Source : hs.fi
The Finnish state-owned airline Finnair has reversed an earlier decision to start using biofuel in some of its commercial flights this year. Finnair was to have started to use kerosene produced by Neste Oil from biological sources as soon as certification is implemented. Now the airline is going back on its decision. "The price of the fuel and its sustainability measured against all criteria is not at the level that we would have gone into it at this point. There are various research projects in progress, and it is in our interest to use a fuel produced from local raw materials", says Kati Ihamäki, environmental director of Finnair. One possible local source of biofuel would be the upcoming plant in Varkaus where Neste is studying the use of wood chips. "An ideal situation would be for us to get biological kerosene produced from local raw materials, because there is no sense in hauling raw material from the other side of the world."
