DG Fuels, a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) company, has revealed plans to construct a $5 billion plant in Moorhead, Minnesota, aimed at producing 193 million gallons of zero- or low-CO2 lifecycle emissions SAF annually. The project is expected to commence operations in 2030 and is projected to bring 650 employment opportunities to the region. Utilizing a unique manufacturing process, the plant will utilize cellulosic biomass, including corn stover and timber waste, as its carbon feedstock, in addition to clean hydrogen feedstock to generate near-zero carbon fuel. Michael C. Darcy, CEO of DG Fuels, emphasized the minimal environmental impact of the plant, highlighting its economic benefits for agricultural communities. Senator Rob Kupec expressed enthusiasm for the project, underscoring its job creation potential and its role in advancing the aviation industry's decarbonization in Minnesota.
