Avfuel Corporation is expanding blended Sustainable Aviation Fuel (having target percentages of 30% neat SAF and 70% conventional jet fuel) (SAF) across the southeastern United States supplied from Valero Marketing and Supply Company (Valero), a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation.

The supply agreement with Valero significantly increases Avfuel’s volume and geographic access to SAF. It will support Avfuel’s mission to continuously grow volume over the multi-year agreement. Like its existing SAF supply, Avfuel will prioritize access to business aviation operations, helping flight departments, and others to use lower-carbon transportation fuels.

The neat SAF produced by Diamond Green Diesel LLC, a joint venture between a Valero affiliate and an affiliate of Darling Ingredients is produced using the HEFA SPK feedstock pathway, meaning it uses lipids to produce the fuel, and can lower lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 80% when compared to conventional jet fuel. On a blended basis, SAF can lower lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 24% when compared to conventional jet fuel.

Avfuel is focused on the logistics of the first truckload delivery, anticipated in the coming months.
