Pathway Energy expects its $2 billion SAF production facility in Port Arthur, Texas, will be operational by 2029.

Sustainable fuel producer Pathway Energy has announced the location of its first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility. Construction on the $2 billion plant—which is expected to produce 30 million gallons of pure, neat SAF annually by 2029—will commence in Port Arthur, Texas, in 2026.

According to the company, its ultra-carbon-negative fuel produced via the Fischer–Tropsch process will achieve a 550% reduction in carbon compared to conventional jet-A.
