The SAF was delivered on 10 December 2024 and marks the opening of the new supply point. In addition to SAF, Naples Aviation recently began offering 94 octane unleaded fuel (UL 94) as a more sustainable alternative to standard jet fuel.
“This is a huge step forward in scaling SAF distribution and adoption within the business aviation sector,” said Joel Hirst, Avfuel’s Senior Vice President of Sales. “Avfuel is dedicated to making SAF more accessible throughout the United States, and deliveries like this one help further our commitment to supporting the business aviation industry in growing the use of SAF.”
The neat SAF was produced by Diamond Green Diesel, a joint venture between a Valero affiliate and an affiliate of Darling Ingredients, using lipids such as used cooking oil.
“Providing cleaner, alternative fuels is important to the Naples aviation community, and it’s our responsibility to provide sustainable options to our customers,” said Byron Gray, Naples Aviation senior director of FBO services. “We are excited to be the Avfuel Network’s first SAF supply location in the eastern U.S. and look forward to seeing how this drives the industry overall.”
