September 20, 2024 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Montana Renewables, the largest producer of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in North America as of 2024, has produced and delivered the first blend of SAF to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. This achievement marks a pivotal moment in the global shift towards cleaner aviation fuels and strengthens the Minnesota SAF Hub’s efforts to advance sustainable air travel.
“We are proud to lead the way in the SAF revolution,” said Bruce Fleming, CEO of Montana Renewables. “As an ISCC-approved SAF producer, the SAF being supplied to MSP is made from Minnesota-grown camelina, showcasing the benefits of shorter, local supply chains and promoting camelina as a viable non-food oil crop that offers additional income potential for farmers.”
MRL extended its gratitude to Shell Aviation, the Minnesota SAF Hub, and various partners who contributed to this successful collaboration. The SAF shipment, departing from Great Falls, is scheduled to arrive at MSP Airport on Friday, September 20, and will fuel Delta Air Lines commercial flights, further cementing SAF’s role in reducing aviation emissions.
