Colonial Pipeline to Start Shipping Sustainable Aviation Fuel
by Jordan Blum (S&P Global Platts) Colonial ships directly to seven major airports; Colonial also moves products delivered to New York-area airports — The Colonial Pipeline fuel network will soon begin shipping sustainable aviation fuel for the first time, as more airlines aim to meet their greenhouse gas emissions goals.
Colonial, which is the main artery of the US’ fuel supply from the South to the east Coast, said April 18 that it has added the ability to transport SAF and will accept customer nominations to ship the fuel on its system. With this change, shippers can nominate jet fuel that includes SAF from any Colonial origin point to any Colonial destination, including airports, along Colonial’s 5,500-mile system.

Colonial delivers directly to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Nashville International Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Piedmont Triad International Airport, Raleigh Durham International Airport, Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, and Washington Dulles International Airport. But Colonial also moves products that are delivered to airports in greater New York City area, as well as other destinations along the way in Birmingham, Alabama; Knoxville, Tennessee; Augusta, Georgia; Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; Norfolk, Virginia; and Philadelphia.

The proposed new specifications were circulated to current Colonial customers and fuel producers for their feedback, which then helped produce the final specifications that are now in effect.
