World Energy exists to deliver ever-better solutions at scale to those leading the push to net-zero carbon transport. We empower those committed to net-zero carbon to cut emissions now. We operate a growing network of integrated fueling facilities to enable customers to meet their reduction commitments while growing their business. World Energy has been a leader in the commercialization, production, and distribution of low-carbon fuels for more than 20 years and operates the world’s first, and North America’s only, commercial-scale SAF production facility empowering leaders like Amazon Air, United, JetBlue, Rolls-Royce, and Boeing, among others to lead the movement to lower carbon transport.

World Energy is pushing the threshold of what is possible in carbon emissions. As the world’s first and North America’s only commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel providers, World Energy’s SAF has helped the aviation industry achieve meaningful progress toward its net-zero emissions goals. World Energy’s low-carbon fuel solutions generate lower-carbon GHG emissions, reduce air pollution, and diminish dependence on foreign fuels by diversifying the energy supply. In 2020, World Energy’s products reduced more than 1.04 billion pounds of carbon; the equivalent of 104 thousand cars removed from the road. World Energy’s fuel solutions decrease NOx, SOx, and particulate emissions in addition to an 85 percent decrease in carbon emissions.
In 2021, World Energy changed from truck delivery of liquid hydrogen to pipeline delivery of gaseous hydrogen from a local Southern California supplier and decreased the carbon intensity in its fuel production by 35 percent.
World Energy is actively researching and developing solutions to push beyond 50 percent SAF blends and commercialize 100 percent SAF use. The company participated in two 100 percent SAF test flights with both Rolls Royce and United Airlines in 2021. World Energy’s SAF powered the first-ever 100 percent SAF fueled passenger flight in December 2021 (United).

Aviation is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize due to the heavyweight and long distances aircraft must travel. SAF is the only viable green energy solution available to aviation today, and World Energy is committed to SAF innovation and is focused on accelerating adoption with the ultimate goal of replacing all petroleum-based jet fuel with renewable liquid fuels [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION]
Our renewable diesel product is a 99.9 percent renewable fuel delivered as a drop-in solution that can be used in all modern diesel engines with zero modifications and our SAF is a drop-in fuel solution for aircraft that requires zero changes in aircraft or engine fuel systems, distribution, or storage facilities.
World Energy fuels are made from renewable inputs. Currently, these include used cooking oil, distillers corn oil, soybean oil, and tallow. World Energy feedstocks are independently certified to meet strict sustainability standards required for renewable fuels. The company is continually innovating new pathways to reduce carbon intensity.
