A new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility will soon break ground in Moses Lake, Washington, Governor Jay Inslee announced during the Paris Airshow on Monday. Twelve Corporation, a California-based clean energy start-up, plans to produce what it calls “E-Jet” fuel using carbon dioxide and renewable energy. 

Nicholas Flanders, CEO and co-founder of Twelve, said his company chose to build their SAF facility at  this small town in Washington State “because of the availability of green power through hydropower, a source of biogenic CO2, which is the carbon feedstock for our fuel, and the great policies of Washington State that are accelerating the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel, green hydrogen, and green power.”
