The Chinese-made fuel has been sent to Wellington and will be used on the airline's turbo-prop planes, principally on regional routes. She said the fuel produced 80 percent less carbon emissions than standard jet fuel and Air New Zealand was signalling to sustainable fuel manufacturers that it was a customer. Hannifin said various countries were already taking steps to require the use of sustainable fuel. From 2026, Air New Zealand would be required to use the green fuel when flying home from Canada and Singapore, with Japan to require it from 2030.
