For the first time, Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) will utilize Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) thanks to Montana Renewables, LLC (MRL), the largest SAF producer in North America as of 2024. MRL has delivered an initial shipment of 7,000 gallons of SAF to the Buckeye Pipeline facility in Dearborn, Michigan. From there, the fuel will be transported to the airport via pipeline for use by Delta Air Lines.
“Providing SAF to DTW marks a significant milestone in the decarbonization of air travel,” stated Bruce Fleming, CEO of MRL. “Not only does this enable SAF for Detroit flights, but we are particularly excited to pioneer camelina oil as a non-food renewable source, which offers additional cash crop potential for farmers.”
