According to a report by EnergyWorld.
The airport and related companies said in a joint statement on Thursday that the fuel is produced by Finnish Nest company and supplied by oil trader Vitol.
They added that compared with conventional aviation fuel, it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%.
The delivery of green fuel began on Thursday, and it will be included in aviation’s main fuel supply.
Heathrow CEO John Holland Kaye said in a statement that we are very pleased that Heathrow is the first major airport in the UK to successfully adopt sustainable aviation fuel.
The world's largest independent oil trader, Vitol Group, and its subsidiary Vitol Aviation, is the fuel supplier for Heathrow Airport.

UK's Heathrow Airport to use renewable jet fuel for first time
Britain's Heathrow Airport will use sustainable jet fuel for the first time as part of a test ahead of a Group of Seven (G7) rich nations summit in the country next week.
The fuel, produced by Finland's Neste and supplied by oil trader Vitol, is made entirely of renewable and sustainable waste such as cooking oil and animal fat, the airport and companies said in a joint statement on Thursday.
It cuts greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared with regular aviation fuel, they added.
Delivery of the green fuel began on Thursday and it will be incorporated into the airport's main fuel supply.
"We are delighted that Heathrow is the first UK major airport to successfully incorporate sustainable aviation fuels," Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said in the statement.
"Now is the time for less talk and more action and Ministers should set an escalating mandate to blend SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) into fuel and provide incentives that are stable over 5-10 years to foster investment in production, with a target of 10 % by 2030 and at least 50% by 2050.
Vitol, the world's biggest independent oil trader, is a fuel supplier at Heathrow through its Vitol Aviation arm and expects to deliver more renewable jet fuel ahead of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow later this year, to cut attendees' emissions.
