Avfuel has added a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) terminal in Denver, marking the first SAF supply point in the central U.S. The fuel is derived from used cooking oil via the HEFA-SPK pathway. The Denver terminal is expected to improve SAF accessibility across the U.S. and support business aviation’s broader goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Avfuel’s first in the region,&nbsp;the Denver terminal&nbsp;is intended to reduce the need to transport SAF from coastal hubs, offering a more efficient and geographically balanced supply chain. It joins the company’s existing SAF points in California, Texas, Florida, and New Jersey, bringing the total to eight.
“We continue to see interest in SAF adoption,” said Avfuel executive v-p C.R. Sincock II. “Avfuel is proud to have established the first SAF supply point in this region, significantly enhancing our national supply infrastructure and leading the way in providing sustainable solutions for aviation operations.”
The Denver expansion is supported by an agreement with Valero Marketing and Supply Company, a subsidiary of Valero Energy. Diamond Green Diesel, a joint venture between a Valero affiliate and an affiliate of Darling Ingredients, produces the neat SAF.
