Buyers Alliance secures SAF contracts for Texas-based fuel facility
What happened
The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) announced commitments from members to purchase sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc) associated with Infinium Energy's Project Atlas, a facility planned for Texas. This facility is expected to produce up to 100,000 metric tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually. Infinium Energy submitted its winning proposal jointly with American Airlines, which will manage physical fuel delivery and logistics.

Why it matters
These long-term contracts provide the structured financing necessary to secure the project. The procurement represents a first application of SABA's model to drive new production of scalable, high-integrity SAF. The agreements are expected to support greenhouse gas abatement equivalent to the emissions of over 3,500 commercial flights.
