Washington, D.C.–based DG Fuels announced the selection of a site for a roughly $5B manufacturing facility and hundreds of good jobs in Moorhead, Minn., that will produce low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using agricultural and wood waste as feedstock. The 193M gallons projected by DG Fuels would represent nearly half of the fuel used at the MSP International Airport. A milestone for the MN SAF Hub, and the state’s most significant commitment toward commercial-scale SAF production, the news demonstrates how building a new SAF economy in Minnesota will create opportunities that stretch from the MSP tarmac to every corner of the state. The announcement also reflects Minnesota’s compelling value proposition to SAF producers, which includes abundant and diverse feedstocks, clean electricity, mature rail networks and strong state support. https://hubs.li/Q02X0Vf10
