Parkland's Burnaby refinery has become the first in Canada to produce a batch of low carbon aviation fuel.
“Parkland is thrilled to demonstrate its leadership and proven expertise at the Burnaby Refinery by becoming the first Company to produce low carbon aviation fuel in Canada,” company senior vice-president Ferio Pugliese said in a news release. The refinery in Burnaby — located at 355 Willingdon Ave. N. — produced roughly 101,000 litres of low carbon fuel by using non-food grade canola and tallow as core feedstocks, the company said. “This represents our first commercial purchase of Canadian produced low carbon aviation fuel,” Air Canada president and CEO Michael Rousseau added.
"Air Canada is actively pursuing efforts to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions and LCAF and SAF are a critical component of our multifaceted approach to reducing our impact on the environment and promoting environmental sustainability in our operations. We encourage all levels of government to support the development of a competitive low carbon aviation fuel or SAF industry and production market in Canada with balanced, supporting policies.
