Montana Renewables and World Energy Sign Agreement to Commercialize Over 70 Million Gallons of SAF
23 Feb 2026
Montana Renewables, LLC (MRL) and World Energy Clean Fuels LLC announced a strategic agreement that will allow them to commercialize over 70 million gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) over the next three years, with the potential to reduce up to 600,000 metric tons of CO₂.
MRL, an unrestricted subsidiary of Calumet, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLMT), is currently one of the largest SAF producers in North America and is advancing the expansion of its MaxSAF™ 150 project, which is intended to significantly increase its production capacity.
The collaboration seeks to combine Montana Renewables’ industrial capacity with the commercial and market expertise of World Energy, considered a pioneer in advanced bioenergy and the world’s first commercial-scale SAF producer. World Energy has also developed a carbon inset model, allowing corporate clients to acquire the environmental attributes associated with SAF to support the decarbonization of their global air operations.
The agreement comes amid strong demand for SAF in the United States and expanding investments aimed at scaling up the domestic sustainable fuels industry. According to the companies, the long-term contract helps support new capital investments in production capacity, strengthening the supply chain and energy independence.
Montana Renewables, headquartered in Great Falls, Montana, produces SAF, renewable diesel, renewable hydrogen, and renewable naphtha, using feedstocks such as tallow, distillers corn oil, canola oil, used cooking oil, and camelina oil. The company emphasizes that its expansion also generates a positive economic impact on the regional agricultural and livestock sectors.
The alliance reflects the growing consolidation of the U.S. SAF market, where long-term production and marketing agreements are proving key to ensuring scalability, security of supply, and emissions reductions in the aviation sector.
