We are also working to develop SAF supply in our home state of Hawai‘i. In 2022, we announced a partnership with Par Hawaii, the largest refinery in the state (pictured above), to explore SAF production. With Par, we are jointly focused on three areas: (1) conducting an engineering study to evaluate the feasibility of converting a portion of Par’s facilities to produce SAF, (2) exploring the potential to grow oil-yielding crops in Hawai‘i as well as import sustainable feedstock, and (3) evaluating the best policy mechanisms to advance SAF in Hawai‘i. We are making progress in all three areas, and are encouraged by Par’s plans to invest $90 million to develop the state’s largest liquid renewable fuels manufacturing facility at its Kapolei refinery. We are excited about the potential to produce SAF in Hawai‘i, which would support the decarbonization of aviation in Hawai‘i, establish a new green industry, and advance the state’s energy independence and economic development goals.
