Phillips 66, United Airlines, Microsoftand Illinois leaders gathered on October 5 at the Wood River Refinery to highlight a transaction that delivered 11 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to United Airlines and the role Illinois’ SAF Purchase Credit played in supporting the effort.
This transaction is expected to reduce life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100,000 metric tons compared with conventional jet fuel.
The event demonstrated the power of a supportive policy environment to enable measurable progress, economic opportunity and continued investment.
Brian Mandell, executive vice-president of marketing and commercial at Phillips 66, said: “That is integration in action: the full strength of our people, assets and capabilities working together to move energy from feedstock to flight.
“Backed by nearly 100 years of industry experience, our aviation team connected the finished fuel with our customers and the infrastructure that keeps aviation moving, while ensuring the life-cycle emissions benefits were measured, verified and documented.”
