Sustainable Aviation Fuel Takes Off at Diamond Green Diesel

November 16, 2024

Our 50/50 joint venture Diamond Green Diesel (DGD), successfully completed its first marine shipment of neat SAF (SPK) from Port Arthur, Texas. This significant milestone highlights the progress of our efforts to decarbonize the aviation sector. 

Our joint venture partner, Valero Energy Corporation, plans to blend this SPK to supply major U.S. aviation hubs, advancing the adoption of cleaner, more sustainable fuels for air travel.  

At Darling Ingredients, we are proud to play a key role in this achievement by utilizing our abundant, low-carbon intensity waste fats as the primary feedstock for renewable diesel and SAF production. This aligns with our commitment to circularity and our vision of a more sustainable future.  

The journey to decarbonize aviation is just beginning, and we are excited about the path ahead.
