Washington State Port Nabs $1.5 Million Grant for Fuel Project
The municipal Port of Walla Walla in southeast Washington secured a $1.5 million state grant for Amsterdam-based SkyNRG to annually produce 50 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel near a multimodal freight network.
SkyNRG selected the industrial park as the site for its manufacturing facility due to its proximity to Washington airports and the surrounding West Coast markets, where it sees potential for rising demand across the transportation industry for alternative fuels to help reduce carbon emissions. The facility will produce SAF and renewable diesel using feedstocks such as renewable natural gas.
