Montana Renewables LLC (MRL), the largest producer of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in North America (2024), has produced and shipped Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s (MSP) first blend of SAF. This marks a significant milestone in the global transition to cleaner, sustainable aviation fuels and serves as a proof point in support of the Minnesota SAF Hub.
“We are pleased to remain at the forefront of the SAF revolution,” said Bruce Fleming, CEO of Montana Renewables. “MRL is an ISCC-approved SAF producer and the SAF being sold to MSP is produced from Minnesota camelina. This demonstrates shorter local supply chains, and pioneers camelina as a viable non-food oil that provides additional cash crop potential for farmers.”
MRL thanks Shell Aviation, the Minnesota SAF Hub, and many others who have come together to deliver this proof point. The SAF shipment from Great Falls will arrive at the MSP Airport on Friday, September 20 and will be used in Delta Air Lines commercial flights.
