Air bp is now offering commercial jet biofuel (biojet) to customers at Bergen airport in Norway. The first batch was delivered to the airport on 16 August.

This follows the supplier's introduction of the fuel at Halmstad airport in Sweden in June 2017 and at Oslo airport in Norway in January 2016. As with Oslo, Air bp worked with Norwegian airport operator Avinor to make this latest development possible.

Air bp has also supplied biojet on an ad hoc basis at Stockholm Arlanda, Stockholm Bromma, Karlstad and Gothenburg Landvetter.

General manager for the Nordic region Thorbjorn Larsson, says: “We are excited to help make the supply of biojet commercially available and accessible to our customers in Bergen, our third airport in Scandinavia. The aviation industry has ambitious targets to reduce its carbon emissions and we are proud to be working with our customers to increase the use of biojet.”

Air bp was the first aviation fuel supplier to be independently certified carbon neutral for into-plane fuelling operations at 250 locations in October 2016, and announced an investment of US$30 million in biofuel producer Fulcrum BioEnergy in November 2016 with the aim of distributing and supplying biojet into aircraft at key hubs across North America.
