KLM performs world’s first passenger flight with sustainable synthetic kerosene
KLM has partnered with Shell to produce the sustainable kerosene based on CO2, water and renewable energy from sun and wind from Dutch soil.
KLM has become the first airline in the world to perform a passenger flight using sustainably produced synthetic kerosene. The flight from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to Madrid, which took place in January, was carried out on an admixture of 500 litres of sustainable synthetic kerosene.
The synthetic kerosene was produced by Shell in its research centre in Amsterdam based on CO2, water and renewable energy from sun and wind from Dutch soil.
