Neste’s diesel has powered machinery and emergency power generators at Helsinki Airport since last year, playing a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Airport operator Finavia is aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to net zero at all of its airports by the end of this year, with Helsinki becoming the fifth Finavia airport to receive net zero certification. Notably, operations at Finavia’s 20 airports have been carbon neutral since 2019, and four Lapland airports obtained net zero certification back in 2023.
Henri Hansson, Senior Vice President of Sustainability, Technology & Safety at Finavia, noted that reaching net-zero targets at Helsinki Airport is the outcome of long-term and systematic efforts. He emphasized that the requirements for achieving net-zero status under the ACA programme include cutting carbon dioxide emissions by at least 90 percent, neutralizing residual emissions, and having an external party verify the emissions data and operations. A key contributor to this achievement is Neste MY Renewable Diesel, which is produced for the Finnish market using 100% waste and residue. This fuel has helped Finavia slash greenhouse gas emissions from its machinery and emergency power generators by an average of 90% over the lifecycle when compared with fossil diesel.
