DFW Airport passengers are doing more than just riding the planes. They're helping fuel them, too.
McWilliams landed at DFW airport in the mid-90s and runs three McDonald’s locations. Once he heard about the recycling program, he was excited to turn the oil for his French fries into fuel for the planes, like the ones landing just a few yards away from his fryers.After restaurants collect the oil, crews haul it to larger storage tanks around the airport. The people behind the program estimate every gallon of oil creates around 0.8 gallons of SAF.
The recycling program is part of DFW’s push to reach 100% net zero emissions by 2030. The airport partners with a company called Neste to convert the cooking oil into SAF. Neste hauls it away to be processed and supplies the renewable fuel to several airlines, including American, at airports around the U.S. Neste estimates SAF accounts for about 1% of jet fuel consumption right now, but they believe airlines are open to using more.
