For the first time, the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) will have the opportunity to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), thanks to Montana Renewables LLC, the largest SAF producer in North America. MRL has delivered its first shipment of 7,000 gallons of SAF to Dearborn, Michigan's Buckeye Pipeline facility. From there, the fuel will be transported to the airport via pipeline. MRL produced and blended the SAF, which will be used by Delta Air Lines.
"Supplying the SAF to DTW marks another significant milestone in the decarbonization of air travel," said Bruce Fleming, CEO of MRL. "Not only does it bring SAF to Detroit flights, but we are especially pleased to pioneer camelina oil as a non-food renewable that provides additional cash crop potential for farmers."
