In partnership with its branded fuel supplier, Avfuel Corporation, Telluride Regional Airport became the first fixed base operator (FBO) in Colorado, US, to make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) available to its customers.
The FBO received its first demonstrative delivery of SAF from Avfuel on 27 February 2021, with two following in March 2021.
Telluride Regional Airport has since begun to receive regular deliveries of Neste’s branded SAF supply from Avfuel – Neste MY SAF. The first load arrived on 15 April 2021; each truckload of Avfuel’s Neste MY SAF provides a 22 t reduction in carbon emissions over its lifecycle, which is equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by 28.7 acres of US forests per year. SAF is one of the most effective ways to reduce a flight’s carbon footprint; and, in the future, SAF could deliver up to 80% less greenhouse gas emissions versus traditional jet fuel if used in its neat form.

On Thursday, the first of what will be a continuous supply was delivered, with each 7,600-gallon truckload of the blended SAF representing a 22-tonne reduction of CO2 emissions over its lifecycle.
