In Canada, Azure announced its planned development of an SAF production facility in Cherryvale, Kansas. Since June 2023, Azure has been progressing a FEED study, which is on track for completion in 2024. Azure is targeting a final investment decision by early 2025; if approved, the company is targeting to reach first production in 2027. Once fully operational, the facility will produce approximately 135 million gallons per year of renewable fuels, primarily SAF. Douglas Cole, CEO of Azure, said: “Our project combines advancements from the aviation sector with the strength of the agricultural community, while relying on the skills and expertise of the oil and gas industry. We believe that our project would help to enhance Kansas’ rich aviation history and create a significant number of new construction and high-quality operations jobs.”
