Calumet Ups Role in Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Lauds New Rules

August 12, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Calumet Incorporated (Indianapolis, Indiana) is preparing to broaden its footprint in the global market for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as it makes strides on a major U.S.-based project, with startup planned for the first half of next year. Industrial Info is tracking more than $850 million worth of active and proposed projects from Calumet, nearly half of which is attributed to projects for new or expanded units at existing facilities. In a quarterly earnings-related conference call, Todd Borgman, the chief executive officer of Calumet, cheered the pending finalization of the newly established renewable volume obligation (RVO), which is the federally mandated volume of renewable fuel that refiners and importers must blend into their diesel.
