Renewable Fuels producer Twelve broke ground today on the start of construction of its first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility. Located in Moses Lake, Washington, it will be the first commercial plant to utilize an ASTM-approved power-to-liquid (e-fuel) pathway for the production of SAF. It will use CO2 and water as its feedstock, converted through the use of renewable electricity.

Scheduled to begin operations by mid-2024, the refinery—which will be built on a repurposed 14-acre site that formerly housed a sugar processing plant—will initially start off with a targeted production of 40,000 gallons of SAF a year, working up to an output of 1 million gallons of SAF annually.
