In Georgia, Delta said that for the first time in both Minnesota’s and Michigan’s aviation history, sustainable aviation fuel has arrived via pipeline to two Delta hub airports, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). The two 7,000-gallon shipments of SAF were made from Minnesota and North Dakota-grown winter camelina as part of Delta’s work with the Minnesota SAF Hub coalition. The camelina was processed at Cargill’s West Fargo crush plant and then sent on to Montana Renewables, LLC (MRL), where it was refined and blended into SAF, Delta said. “The fact that SAF has been delivered to MSP and DTW is monumental because not only is it the first time SAF has arrived at these airports, both of which are important Delta hubs, but it also demonstrates why collaboration cross the entire SAF value chain is so important – we need all the right stakeholders and partners at the table to drive results,” said Amelia DeLuca, Delta Chief Sustainability Officer.
