Azure Kansas Bio-SAF Facilty Carbon Capture

Azure Sustainable Fuels is planning a major sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility near Cherryvale, Kansas that integrates carbon capture to reduce emissions from renewable fuel production. The project would produce about 135 million gallons per year of SAF and related renewable fuels, significantly cutting aviation CO₂ emissions by roughly 1 million tonnes annually compared with conventional jet fuel. Azure’s front-end engineering and design (FEED) study began in mid-2023 and is progressing toward regulatory approvals and a final investment decision targeted by early 2025, with first production expected around 2027 if approved. The Kansas facility is strategically positioned to utilize abundant U.S. agricultural feedstocks such as soybean oil and is aligned with local economic development, including tax incentives approved by the Montgomery County Commission. Azure has executed a letter of intent with CapturePoint Solutions to explore connecting the plant’s CO₂ streams to existing carbon sequestration networks and infrastructure, enabling captured emissions from fuel production to be transported and stored permanently underground.
