Shell will distribute the SAF to Red Rock\u2019s existing airline customers and market Red Rock\u2019s cellulosic renewable diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

By combining Red Rock\u2019s production capabilities with Shell\u2019s technical and commercial expertise and world-class supply chain, the companies are demonstrating how working together is enabling the production and distribution of SAF and cellulosic renewable diesel and supporting the decarbonization of aviation and heavy transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have Shell join our strong team of project partners on our Lakeview biorefinery,\u201d said Terry Kulesa, CEO of Red Rock. \u201cWith its operational capabilities and global supply chain expertise, Shell is ideally positioned to support us in helping make low-carbon SAF and cellulosic renewable diesel more widely available to airlines and heavy transport companies who are committed to reducing emissions and tackling climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Red Rock\u2019s biorefinery is scheduled for completion early next year. Once operational, it will be the world\u2019s first commercial scale plant to utilize waste woody biomass from forests at risk of wildfire to create SAF and cellulosic renewable diesel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been one of the most devastating wildfire seasons on record,\u201d said Kulesa. \u201cWe have seen wildfires grow in intensity, acreage, and damage to public health and the environment. One of the many potential benefits of the plant is to reduce the waste woody biomass lying on the forest floor which may help to mitigate the spread of wildfires.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is crucial to aviation\u2019s success in reaching net zero emissions by 2050, alongside new technologies and high-quality carbon credits. But to enable SAF to fulfil its potential we need to be proactive and resolute in finding opportunities to increase availability of SAF today and tomorrow,\u201d said Anna Mascolo, President of Global Aviation at Shell. \u201cIncreasing SAF is dependent on collaboration across the whole value chain. We are proud to work together with Red Rock to support the development of their innovative new production facility in Lakeview, Oregon.\u201d<\/p>\n

In general, lifecycle carbon emissions from SAF and cellulosic renewable diesel are expected to be up to 80% lower than conventional jet fuel.1<\/sup>\u00a0The SAF will be supplied to airports through existing airport infrastructure and can be used blended by airlines without requiring technical modification to their current fleet.<\/p>\n

Shell has an \u00a0ambition to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner<\/a>. We will do this in step with society and our customers.<\/p>\n

Shell Aviation\u2019s carbon management strategy<\/a> aims to help our customers decarbonise by avoiding<\/strong> emissions on the ground, reducing<\/strong> emissions principally through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and offsetting<\/strong> emissions through the use of carbon credits, specifically nature-based solutions. Shell Aviation plays many different roles in this strategy; a fuel supplier (renewable and conventional), a technology partner, and proponent of energy solutions for airports.<\/p>\n

We actively collaborate across the industry to deliver more sustainable solutions for aviation. Examples include our work with World Energy<\/a>, SkyNRG<\/a>, Amazon Air<\/a>, Neste<\/a>, and at San Francisco Airport<\/a> and Stuttgart Airport<\/a>. Shell Aviation is proud to be a member of \u201cThe Clean Skies for Tomorrow Coalition\u201d<\/a> and the\u00a0UK government’s Jet Zero Council.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
