In Canada, the Manitoba government signed a contribution agreement through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) to provide $2.2 million over two years for Azure Sustainable Fuels Corp.’s Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study for sustainable aviation fuel. The Azure Sustainable Fuels Corp. study outlines plans for using Canadian feedstock products such as canola and soybean oils to produce as much as an estimated one billion liters of SAF per year. The mission of this project is to provide made-in-Canada solution to source certified low carbon fuels to meet their emissions reduction targets. “I’m pleased to be supporting Azure with funding through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership,” said federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay. “Their innovative research into converting feedstock to sustainable fuel will create new economic opportunities for our farmers while helping reduce emissions.”
