Southwest Airlines announced an offtake agreement with USA BioEnergy for up to 680M gallons of neat sustainable aviation fuel. Over the term of the 20-year agreement, once blended with conventional jet fuel, the SAF could produce the equivalent of 2.59B gallons of net-zero1 fuel and avoid 30M metric tons of CO2. Southwest plans to begin purchasing SAF from USA BioEnergy’s facility near Bon Wier, Texas, as early as 2028. Additionally, as part of the offtake agreement, Southwest and USA BioEnergy have established a long-term strategic relationship offering Southwest the opportunity to purchase up to another projected 180M gallons of SAF per year from future planned production facilities.
