TORONTO - Azure Sustainable Fuels Corp. ("Azure") has taken a significant step in its mission to revolutionize the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) landscape. In a strategic collaboration with global supply chain giant, Savage, and its agribusiness arm, Bartlett, Azure is poised to accelerate its SAF production plans by 2027.

Partnership Highlights:

1. Strategic Alliance: This partnership brings together Azure's vision for SAF production and Savage's expertise in logistics infrastructure, agricultural feedstock trading, and brokering. The collaboration is set to fast-track Azure's plans, with Savage and Bartlett providing crucial support in infrastructure, transportation, logistics, rail, and agriculture.
2. Accelerated Plans: With the recent kick-off of the Front-end Engineering and Design (FEED) study in June 2023, Azure aims to complete the necessary work for regulatory approvals on its four North American sites by the end of 2024. The partnership with Savage and Bartlett ensures that this timeline is met.
