Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality is experiencing strong development with the establishment of the Northvolt battery factory and a number of other private and public investments. Development in Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality requires good accessibility to the outside world and access to infrastructure within all modes of transport is therefore crucial.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We are expanding our port, the Port of Skellefte\u00e5, the government has recently presented an infrastructure bill that includes the complete completion of the Norrbothnia Line, and Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality has enabled night train services from 2022.<br \/>\nBut in order to manage rapid transport within and outside Sweden, access to good air connections is crucial for the region&#039;s continued development, says Evelina Fahlesson (S), municipal councilor in Skellefte\u00e5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Sweden, a reduction obligation is now being introduced, which means a legal requirement for fuel suppliers to reduce fossil aviation fuel by mixing in fossil-free aviation fuel.<br \/>\nHowever, Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality wants to move faster and has therefore decided that all Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality&#039;s domestic flights from Skellefte\u00e5 Airport will be operated with fossil-free aviation fuel.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The development of the airport must go hand in hand with sustainability goals. That is why we are keeping our airport at the forefront of the transition. We are leading the way in phasing out fossil aviation fuel so that future air travel can be both time-efficient and sustainable.<br \/>\nThe region needs an airport at the forefront of the transition that can handle our need for passenger transport to the industry that creates the green society of the future, says Evelina Fahlesson.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Skellefte\u00e5 Airport is driving the development of the fossil-free transport of the future together with Skellefte\u00e5 Kraft, Northvolt, InnoEnergy and Skellefte\u00e5 Science City, among others. In 2021, charging infrastructure for electric flights will also be installed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We are actively working on the green transition and driving the development of both electric and hydrogen aviation.<br \/>\nMaking it possible for the region&#039;s public sector, business and private individuals to fly with reduced climate impact is an important step in the transition, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Facts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe fossil-free fuel is supplied by AirBP. The raw material is used cooking oil, but alternative aviation fuels for today&#039;s aircraft can also be produced from residues from the forestry and food industries, household waste and even carbon dioxide captured from the air.<br \/>\nA number of development projects of this type are currently underway in Sweden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skellefte\u00e5 kommun har dessutom, som en av de f\u00f6rsta kommunerna i landet, fattat beslutet att klimatreducera inrikes flygresor fr\u00e5n Skellefte\u00e5 Airport genom att anv\u00e4nda fossilfritt flygbr\u00e4nsle.
