Darling Ingredients announces Avfuel takes first delivery of SAF

Darling Ingredients (DAR) announced that Avfuel, the supplier of aviation fuel and services, took the first delivery of sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, produced by Diamond Green Diesel, or DGD, a 50/50 joint venture between Darling Ingredients and Valero Energy Corporation (VLO). Naples Aviation, or KAPF, accepted Avfuel’s delivery of SAF, marking the fuel supplier’s first network location to offer SAF for general sale in the eastern United States. Naples Aviation’s SAF delivery comes on the heels of a SAF supply agreement between Avfuel and Valero Marketing and Supply Company, a subsidiary of Valero. DGD’s Port Arthur, Texas, facility loaded its first SAF shipment on November 16. The facility has converted approximately 50% of its annual 470 million gallon capacity to SAF and is expected to be one of the largest SAF manufacturers in the world.
