Pittsburgh International Plans On-field Alternative Jet Fuel Plant
The $1.5 billion project could produce up to 70 million gallons of SAF a year
Pittsburgh International Airport
A planned $1.5 billion alternative fuels plant at Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT) could produce enough SAF and/or clean hydrogen to meet the airport's aviation fuel needs on an annual basis.

Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT) has announced a partnership that could propel it to the forefront of sustainable aviation. In cooperation with KeyState Energy and CNX Resources, KPIT is looking to develop a new renewable fuel facility on the field that could produce up to 68,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen or 70 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel a year. That amount would be nearly enough to replace all jet-A consumed at the airport and at a price on par with that of jet-A.

The plant will offer the flexibility to produce both products simultaneously at varying amounts to satisfy demand.
