Sustainable Aviation Fuel Refinery coming to East Texas!

Happy Tuesday!

Did anyone happen to read Storage Terminals Magazine’s Weekly Newsletter on January 24, 2025, their article titled, “USA Bioenergy announces land purchase in Bon Wier, Texas, for its $2.8 billion sustainable aviation fuel refinery”?   In the article, it speaks on how USA BioEnergy has made a step toward making their sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) refinery in Newton County, Texas closer to reality.  USA BioEnergy has purchased property in Bon Wier, Texas, and they are planning on building a refinery which will use wood waste from sustainably sourced forest thinnings to produce SAF and renewable naphtha.  They are planning on building a 300-acre biorefinery which is about a fifth of the property they purchased, thus they have plenty of room to expand.  USA BioEnergy is now concentrating on the design and engineering of the refinery.  Once this step is completed, it will take around 30 to 32 months to have the refinery built and start-up completed.  USA BioEnergy is expected to capture and store over 30 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide during its 20-year agreement with Southwest Airlines.   They have secured $150 million in funding for the facility from credits and tax incentives supplied by state, local and federal agencies.  We wish USA BioEnergy luck bringing financial opportunities to Newton County residents and bringing more clean energy to Texas!  If you would like to read more of Storage Terminals Magazine Weekly Newsletter’s article, please click the link: USA Bioenergy announces land purchase in Bon Wier, Texas, for its $2.8 billionsustainable aviation fuel refinery.
