Walz sees Minnesota becoming global sustainable aviation fuel leader

The governor of Minnesota is taking steps to position his state as a global leader in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).

Tim Walz tells Brownfield he has formed a first-of-its-kind coalition committed to scaling up SAF production to replace conventional jet fuel.

“And we have all the components right here in Minnesota, we’ve got a refinery nearby, we’ve got North America’s top-rated airport, and of course we are the leaders in biofuels.”

The Minnesota SAF Hub includes Delta Airlines, Ecolab, Xcel Energy, and Bank of America.
