b'SUSTAINABILITY + FUELGreen Skies Ahead forSCOA & Strategic BiofuelsA a partnership that continues to redefine green energy t the crossroads of sustainable aviation and renewable energy, SCOA and Strategic Biofuels have entered intoproduction for aircraft. Centered around the Louisiana Green Fuels (LGF) project in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, this collaboration marks a strategic pivot from renewable diesel toSustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production, embodying a deep commitment to sustainability and the broader energy transition.The partnership aligns with both com-panies goals of developing renewable energy solutions that offer a tangible reduction in carbon emissions. Dr. Paul Schubert, CEO of Strategic Biofuels, articulates the essence of this initiative, emphasizing the shared objective of operating a plant that significantly lowers the carbon footprint of aviation fuel. Our goal has always been to bring online a deeply carbon-negative fuels plant, and we are thrilled to have SCOA as our partner in our LGF endeavor, Schubert said. The shift to SAF is an exciting moment for us and our partners, for the energy landscape in Louisiana and for the greater global energy transition overall.At the heart of the LGF project is the innovative production of SAF, designed to cut the considerable carbon emissions associated with commer- reduction, the LGF plant will utilize three significant compo-cial aviation.
