DG Fuels recently announced Moorhead, Minnesota as the site for a $5 billion manufacturing facility that will produce 193 million gallons per year of low-carbon aviation fuel (SAF) using agricultural and wood waste as feedstock.

This news is a notable milestone for the MN SAF Hub and is the most significant commitment towards commercial-scale SAF production in the state. The announcement also reflects Minnesota’s compelling value proposition to SAF producers, which includes abundant and diverse feedstocks, clean electricity, mature rail networks, and strong state support. The 193 million gallons projected by DG Fuels would represent nearly half of the fuel used at the MSP International Airport.

The Minnesota SAF Hub is a diverse coalition led by Bank of America, Delta Air Lines, Ecolab, and Xcel Energy committed to scaling the production of sustainable aviation fuel to replace conventional jet fuel.
