New Rise Renewables has opened its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility at the Reno-Tahoe Industrial Complex in Storey County on a 10-acre parcel in McCarran.
With a capacity to produce 3200 barrels per day of renewable SAF, New Rise Renewables’ facility is poised to play a pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions from the aviation sector. The facility will begin production this summer.
With cutting-edge features and technologies, the facility sets a new standard for sustainable aviation fuel production. These include a 16-car heated rail spur, over 5 million gallons of tankage, co-generation, off-gas energy recovery, water recovery systems, advanced technologies for hydrotreating, hydrogen reformer, feedstock pretreatment, and wastewater treatment.
Randy Soule, CEO of New Rise Renewables, expressed his enthusiasm for the venture.
“We are thrilled to be at the forefront of the movement towards cleaner aviation fuels by driving production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF),” said Soule.
Business partners Bill Jones and Albert Mack echoed Soule’s sentiments, highlighting the transformative impact of sustainable practices in the aviation sector.
“New Rise Renewables is proud to be a catalyst for change, driving innovation and promoting a greener future for air travel,” they said in a joint press release.
Strategically situated within the Reno-Tahoe Industrial Complex (TRIC), the facility leverages its prime location to meet the increasing demand for sustainable aviation fuel. The proximity to major transportation networks ensures efficient distribution while maximizing accessibility.
