Avfuel has ramped up its distribution of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with the establishment of a new supply terminal in Linden, New Jersey, which began operations on Friday. Earlier last month, the Michigan-based fuel provider also began the continuous flow of SAF from terminals in Pasadena, Texas, and Florida’s Port Everglades.
The SAF at those three locations is made using the HEFA SPK process with lipids such as used cooking oil as its feedstock. At a 30% SAF blend, the fuel can reduce life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by 24% versus standard jet-A.
With the distribution of SAF reaching the northeast, Heritage Aviation in Burlington, Vermont (KBTV)—long in the vanguard of aviation sustainability—signed on as the first Avfuel customer in the region to receive continuous supplies starting this week.
While the Linden supplies will be targeted primarily to business aviation customers, the company will make it available to all segments of aviation, including airlines.
“We have high expectations for SAF volumes in 2025,” said Avfuel executive v-p C.R. Sincock II. “These new supply points are integral to meeting or exceeding those expectations.” He added that SAF distribution is no longer confined to the western U.S. “With these new terminals—particularly those in New Jersey and Florida—we’ve vastly expanded our supply chain infrastructure to significantly enhance SAF’s accessibility.”
