GREAT
FALLS, Mont., Oct. 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, the Detroit
Metropolitan Airport (DTW) will have the opportunity to use
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), thanks to Montana Renewables, LLC
(MRL), the largest SAF producer in North
America (2024). 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."
