GREATER MSP: Minnesota's Sustainable Aviation Fuel Economy Takes Flight

Minnesota's Sustainable Aviation Fuel Economy Takes Flight


News

The infrastructure is now in place. The market can begin.

For the past three years, Minnesota has been building something that doesn't exist anywhere else in the United States: a regional ecosystem capable of producing, delivering and using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at commercial scale.

Today, that vision reached an important milestone.

With the completion of a new blending facility at Flint Hills Resources' Pine Bend Refinery, sustainable aviation fuel can now be blended, certified and delivered directly to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) in commercial volumes. The facility adds one of the final pieces of infrastructure needed to launch Minnesota's SAF economy and creates a practical pathway for producers, airlines and corporate customers to participate in one of aviation's most important climate solutions.
