Montana Renewables, working together with Calumet Montana Refining, has set up new on‑site blending and shipping facilities to produce a fuel that is roughly half renewable and half traditional jet fuel. This blend meets the aviation industry standards ASTM D7566 and ASTM D1655, and can be used as a “drop‑in” replacement without changing existing aircraft or fueling infrastructure.
This product is drop-in compatible with all existing systems and will initially be distributed through AEG Fuels' network to select aviation hubs in Montana, Washington, and Oregon.
With the new MaxSAF program, Montana Renewables gains the ability to sell blended fuel directly from its truck rack—opening up access to sustainable aviation fuel at local and regional airports outside major hubs.
For customers, it offers a drop‑in fuel solution that advances ESG goals, cuts Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions, and strengthens brand leadership, which is a kind initiative towards sustainability. For the environment, using SAF means lower lifecycle greenhouse‑gas emissions, better air quality compared to traditional Jet A fuel, as well as support for a circular economy, from farm feedstock to fuel finished product, which is a blend of conventional along with advancement in technology.
Executive Statement
According to Landon Larson, Vice President, Supply NA at AEG Fuels, AEG Fuels is honored to collaborate with Montana Renewables on this landmark SAF inaugural blend. Together, they are demonstrating how strategic partnerships can accelerate the transition to sustainable aviation and deliver real value to operators across our fueling network.
