SAF is a biofuel made from non-petroleum feedstocks that can power aircraft. Depending on the feedstock and production method, SAF can be blended with conventional jet fuel as a "drop-in" fuel. It has similar chemistry to jet fuel but a smaller carbon footprint. It can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% over the fuel's lifecycle.
RD is a synthetic diesel fuel made from biomass. It has the same fuel quality specification as petroleum diesel (ASTM D975) and can be used in existing diesel engines and refueling infrastructure. RD is nontoxic, biodegradable, and releases fewer greenhouse gases than conventional diesel. It can have up to 80% lower lifecycle emissions compared to petroleum diesel.
A carbon-rich, fine-grained, highly porous, type of charcoal made from biomass through a thermochemical conversion process. Formation occurs when there is no oxygen, trapping most of the carbon in the original solid biomass form. Often used as a soil amendment because it is nutrient-rich and enhances water retention. Additional but less prevalent uses include Bio-energy production, contaminant remediation, and aiding in Carbon Sequestration.
A byproduct of refining renewable feedstocks into diesel fuel. It can be used to create gasoline, plastics, or hydrogen. RN can have a low carbon intensity, and when blended with gasoline, it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It's also a co-product of renewable diesel and SAF that can be used to make chemicals and materials like solvents, fuel additives, and plastics.
Biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is carbon dioxide that is released when organic material, like biomass and its derivatives, are combusted or decomposed. Bio-G CO2 is part of the natural carbon cycle and is not considered a greenhouse gas emission if it comes from a sustainable source.
Our staple product, SAF, is in high demand for several reasons.
Legally, airlines will be required to use a certain percentage of SAF every year beginning in 2027.
Environmentally, the continued use of carbon-based fuels harvested using unsustainable means is pushing our world to an irreparable state. By transitioning to renewable fuels like SAF, which release only a fraction of the emissions and are manufactured sustainably, we can play a significant role in preserving our Earth for future generations.
Corporate Social Responsibility, with a growth in demand for travel and the increase in globalization, large airlines have the responsibility not only to provide a service and make profits for shareholders but to operate in such a way that is beneficial for the community and nation. As pressure from the Government grows, urging for greater use of alternative fuels, large corporations are seeking ways to fulfill their Social Responsibility.
Quantity requirements of SAF are introduced by several legislative policies like the "Renewable Fuel Standard" and "Net Zero by 2050." Our current supply of SAF will not meet future usage requirements. Then the question is posed: how will we accomplish our goals?
TerraNova LLC. will be producing over 50 million gallons of Renewable Fuels a year with H2 injection. Given by the RFS, at least 2% of Aviation Fuels must be SAF beginning in 2025. According to NZ2050, 65% of aviation fuel needs to be SAF to accomplish net zero emissions by 2050. Because of this disparity between supply and required demand, there is great sentiment towards the future of TerraNova LLC.
TerraNova LLC. aspires to meet this demand by supplying high-quality products that help fulfill our country's expectations.
