The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) is increasing the quantity of sustainable aviation fuel it sources from World Fuel Services through a new agreement for 5.2 million liters (1.4 million gallons). The agreement announced by the U.S.-based supplier on Thursday follows an earlier contract to supply 4 million liters for British military forces between November 2023 and February 2024.

The fuel supplied is a 40 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend sourced from Neste, with the renewable part of the feedstock being produced from used cooking oil or animal fat. The new order covers supplies between July and September and is part of the MoD’s carbon reduction efforts under its Defence Operation Energy Strategy published in December 2023.
