Production Facility
Azure is developing a renewable fuels production facility to provide a significant source of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which will be required to meet domestic and international mandates related to the reduction of CO2 emissions generated by the aviation sector.
​
.
The Facility will produce renewable fuels by utilizing Shell’s Renewable Refining Process (SRRP) technology to hydrotreat vegetables oils (HVO) to produce sustainable aviation fuels required to meet domestic and international mandates related to the reduction of CO2 emissions generated by the aviation sector. This HVO process has been in use in Europe over the last decade, and primarily in the production of renewable diesel.
Azure Environmental Impact
Once fully operational, Azure’s facility will produce approximately 20,000 bbl/d of SAF and displace approximately 2.6 mega tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
Our Multi Site Plan
Azure has developed its targeted design based on the specific characteristics of each of its potential sites. This gives Azure the benefit of combined learnings, capital efficiency, and a platform for growth.
Azure currently has four proposed project sites across North America:
-
Cherryvale, Kansas
-
Kamloops, British Columbia
-
Portage la Prairie, Manitoba
-
Port Colborne, Ontario
Key Aspects of the Facility
-
The Facility will be constructed in 2 phases, each phase capable of producing ~10,000 barrels per day of renewable fuels with a designed total capacity per site of ~20,000 barrels per day.
-
At full capacity, the Facility will process approximately 1 million tonnes of feedstock per year.
-
Azure has formed key partnerships with a network of experienced companies with expertise in technology, construction, logistics, and feedstock who will help to ensure the successful development of the facility.
-
No fossil products will be used as a feedstock and Azure will minimize the use of fossil fuels as an energy source for process operations.

​
-
The Facility will draw feedstocks from domestic markets, supporting a value add to the local agricultural industry.
-
The Facility requires approximately 1,500 construction jobs and 150 full-time positions for operations.
-
Azure is dedicated to building meaningful, long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with local communities based on respect and understanding.
-
Azure is working closely with governments and local communities and will adhere to environmental regulations and requirements to achieve timely approvals.
