Burnaby refinery produces first SAF in Canada

Parkland announced that it has successfully produced Canada’s first batch of low-carbon aviation fuel (SAF) at its Burnaby refinery. With the support of the Government of British Columbia, this is an important step towards delivering a made-in-Canada solution that can help reduce aviation emissions, promote economic growth and support British Columbia and Canada’s low-carbon goals.

Using existing infrastructure, Parkland’s Burnaby refinery has successfully produced approximately 101,000 litres of low-carbon aviation fuel using non-food-grade canola oil and tallow as core feedstocks. Low Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF) can be categorised as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through appropriate certification throughout the supply chain. The fuel has been purchased by Air Canada.
