Paine Field unveils plan for new, more eco-friendly jet fuel center
EVERETT — It’s a cross between a seed bank and a test kitchen, except the main ingredient is jet fuel.
A new research and development center focused on sustainable aviation fuel will be established at Paine Field by 2027. The center will collect sustainable aviation fuel samples from around the world and then test them for safety, performance and chemical similarity to conventional jet fuel.
The facility, a joint venture between Snohomish County and Washington State University, will also be equipped to help manufacturers scale up SAF for commercial-scale production.
Officials announced plans for the new research center on Tuesday outside the offices of Propeller Airports at Paine Field.
