In Nevada, Sierra Sun reported that the Truckee Tahoe Airport is already offering SAF to its clients.
In July 2022, the airport set a goal to increase the SAF percentage of its Jet A fuel sold from 10% to 25% SAF by year-end. After the goal was achieved the airport increased the percentage of SAF in its fuel mix to 75%. The airport plans to reach 100% SAF usage by the beginning of next year, according to the report.
“Truckee Tahoe Airport has been a front-runner in adopting SAF. The customer base made Truckee an ideal place to implement sustainable fuel, with the average customer caring deeply about the environment and willing to pay for that by reducing impacts through SAF. The district’s goal to ultimately reach 100% SAF is unheard of for general aviation airports,” said Hardy Bullock, supervisor for Nevada County’s fifth district and former Director of Aviation and Community Services for TTAD.
The SAF sold at the Truckee Airport is refined in Houston, Texas and then shipped to Richmond, California to be blended with regular Jet A fuel.
