Introduction, Purpose Mission, Vision

Our purpose: Create a cleaner world for future generations.

An ancient proverb simply implores society - "A great people plant trees, for those yet to come, who will enjoy it's shade." This simple, far reaching and selfless act will go a long way in creating a healthier planet for our children's children. Everything we do at Trinity serves this purpose.

Since our inception, Trinity's journey has taken the company from a local company delivering fuel to the 8th largest airport in the country, the Orlando International Airport (OIA), one of the busiest destinations in the world, it handles more than 50 million passengers per year. With construction of our new $4 Billion terminal, nearing completion with rail lines providing customer access. These rail lines will stretch from Miami to Orlando, on to Tampa and back. These rail lines will provide high speed rail access to over 50% of Florida's population. With the largest rental car fleet in the world based at Orlando International Airport, this location provides an opportunity to significantly improve air quality and reduce the negative impacts of carbon emissions throughout Central Florida.

Trinity long ago targeted OIA, its airline and rail partners, as future customers for SAF and Renewable Diesel for its support equipment.
Becoming a global leader in renewable and circular solutions is not the finish line but our beginning.

Local and state governments will now have an establishment or an expansion of their (Rural and Urban) farming communities. This will allow for the application of Federal dollars for farming, in the framework of similar resources applied to Midwest farming communities.

For TEES, a company which is in the business of fighting climate change, this is good news. Any action/ the more opportunities to reduce society’s reliance on fossil fuels but also increase food security, is a step in the right direction

However, reducing carbon emissions from some segments of the transport sector will be challenging. Heavy road transport, which includes big rigs, cement mixers, emergency response vehicles, tractors, and many other large vehicles, is recognized as hard to electrify. Similarly, the aviation industry will continue to rely on liquid fuels in the decades ahead.

Trinity partners and collaborators are some of the world’s leading researchers, major producers and suppliers of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) renewable diesel. Produced from waste and residue raw materials including Agriculture and municipal waste. Our feedstock sources will keep landfills small (work to significantly reduce them through repurposing waste to Energy feedstock) and our skies and water cleaner.

"Advanced biofuels will be there to carry that load,” said Kevin Davis, President of Trinity Eco Energy Solutions and Bioproducts.

For decades to come, Trinity's renewable diesel (from our municipal scaled Circular Solutions), will enable Southeastern businesses and cities to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Our fuel will play a major role in the success of multi state "Net 0" and low carbon fuel standards, replacing more than 1 billion gallons of fossil diesel across the region.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) - The Renewable solution for tomorrow that we can use today.

Trinity partners and collaborators are some of the world’s leading researchers, major producers and suppliers of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) renewable diesel. Our SAF is produced from waste and residue raw materials including Agriculture and municipal waste. Our feedstock sources will keep landfills small (work to significantly reduce them through repurposing waste to Energy feedstock) and our skies and water cleaner.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a clean substitute for fossil jet fuels. Rather than being refined from petroleum, SAF is produced from sustainable feedstocks such as waste oils, agri residues, algae and non-fossil CO2.

ASAF is a so-called drop-in fuel, which means that it can be blended with fossil jet fuel and that the blended fuel requires no special infrastructure or equipment changes. Once it is blended, our fuel will be fully certified (ASTM D1655/ DEFSTAN 91-91) and has the same characteristics and meets the same specifications as fossil jet fuel.

Since the first commercial flight in 2011, more than 150,000 flights have been powered by SAF. To date, SAF has been produced from the oils of specific plants as well as Used Cooking Oil (UCO). We are not limited to a single feedstock or technology. As long as the SAF meets both the technical specifications as well as our sustainability criteria, we are willing to consider any feedstock-technology combination.

Why SAF?

We all love to fly! But there’s a downside. The environmental impact of air travel is significant, and it is growing rapidly. It is essential for economies and businesses globally and enables us to visit family & friends and discover foreign countries & cultures. However, the impact of aviation on our global carbon footprint is significant and growing rapidly.

Aviation currently accounts for approximately 2-3% of manmade global carbon emissions. Without timely action, aviation could consume up to 22% of the global carbon budget by 2050. To maintain growth and at the same time address its environmental impact, the aviation industry has committed to carbon-neutral growth per 2020 and reducing net aviation carbon emissions to 50% below 2005 levels by 2050.

Technology, operations, and infrastructure improvements are effective ways to reduce emissions. More than 99% of airline emissions and approximately 50% of airport emissions are related to the combustion of jet fuel. Although increased energy efficiency and reduction in energy demand are effective ways to reduce fuel consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions, these improvements do not offer a sole solution to aviation-related emissions.

Since aircraft are not able to switch to alternative energy sources (like hydrogen or electricity) in the foreseeable future, aircraft will continue to rely on liquid fuels. Therefore, sustainable aviation fuel made from renewable feedstock is one of the most important options to significantly reduce the industry’s carbon footprint and at the same time also reduce the dependency on the petroleum industry.

Benefits of SAF

Benefits of a regional SAF supply chain. Additional benefits include a region’s increased energy security, reduced volatility of jet fuel supply and price, and economic development through investments and job creation.

Key Benefits

1. CO2 reduction

We aim for at least 80% CO2 emissions reduction compared to conventional jet fuel. The key difference lies in the source of carbon. Fossil fuels release additional carbon that was previously stored in reservoirs. SAF recycles CO2 emissions that were emitted previously and subsequently absorbed from the atmosphere during biomass production.

2. Improved local air quality

In addition to the reduction of total life cycle CO2 emissions, SAF can also reduce direct emissions: particulate matter (PM) with up to 90% and sulphur (SOX) with 100%, compared to conventional jet fuel. Reducing these emissions both impact local air quality, in particular in areas with a high density of flight movements, such as airports. This particulate and CO2 reduction will also have a direct positive impact on the health and subsequent healthcare costs of people in local, state and communities worldwide.

3. Improved fuel efficiency

Studies have shown that sustainable aviation fuel has a higher energy density than conventional jet fuel. On top of that, SAF yields an improved fuel efficiency (1.5% – 3%), resulting in higher payload conditions or extended range.

Three of the top (7) U.S. based airlines (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and JetBlue Airways), in spite of the Coronavirus pandemic, these Aviation industry leaders have received their first orders and currently use sustainable aviation fuel. Presently only available at West Coast airports, including flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The low-carbon and high-quality fuel will contribute to each airline's (as well as every sector and airline to come) efforts to reach their climate goals.

A historically safer, more secure, transport option is now successfully delivering Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Pipeline delivery, a milestone for what is clearly, the future, of the Aviation industry. This “climate quantum leap”, so called by SFO officials, now provides all the safety and security in this delivery of SAF, that traditional fossil fuels enjoy. This key, fiscally preferred option, now available and in use, eliminates another, if not the final and most important hurdle to Sustainable fuel's adoption, implementation, and use, in the delivery of all Renewable energy solutions, cost.

With SAF and Renewable Diesel in fuel consortiums and state fuel depots, this will now make it available to the commercial, cargo or business aviation entities that operate at the airport and pull fuel from fuel depots, storage fuel tank fields and consortia. Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and JetBlue Airways are the first major U.S. airlines to commit to adopt SAF.

“Together we’re moving the aviation industry toward a more sustainable future,” said Thorsten Lange, Executive Vice President for Renewable Aviation at Neste. (Neste is a Finnish company and the world's leading producer of SAF and Renewable Diesel fuels from waste.) “Alaska was the first North American carrier to commit to advancing and adopting the use of SAF, and one of the first airlines to demonstrate the use of SAF in passenger flying with nearly 80 flights using sustainable aviation fuel over the last 10 years,” said Diana Birkett Rakow, Alaska Airlines’ vice president of external relations. “As we return to and regrow air travel, we’re thrilled to take this next step towards commercially viable supply and use of SAF. We have a long way to go. Being a responsible airline is critical to our employees, guests, communities, and our future – and using SAF is a key part of our strategy to reduce carbon emissions.” TEES commitment to being a long term responsible partner with airlines like Alaska and others to come, only reinforces our stand on sustainability. “Even in these difficult circumstances, setting up our airline to operate more sustainably is important to us, our team members and our customers,” said David Seymour, Chief Operating Officer for American Airlines. “We have a vision for the future of American that includes advancing the most promising options for reducing carbon emissions from air travel, and sustainable aviation fuel is chief among them…" Trinity seeks to be a part of this bold and timely leap to the future of aviation, along with these and other forward thinking domestic entities as well as international visionary companies.

“Air travel connects people and cultures and supports a global economy. As an industry, we’re working together to limit our contributions to climate change,” said Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer, JetBlue Airways. “Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is an important part of JetBlue Airways’ business plan. We remain focused on long-term environmental opportunities, particularly lessening our largest impact on carbon emissions from flying. The airline industry is one of the few industries that has collectively committed to an international emissions reduction goals. Now more than ever, we must also support other industry-wide environmental improvements like sustainable aviation fuel in order to kick-start the market on these lower carbon fuels.”

The Elements: From Earth, Wind, Fire (Solar) and Water

Bringing SAF from feedstock to jet fuel supply:

This will require the production of sufficient sustainable raw materials and industrial capability to process and refine it into fuel.
The worldwide aviation industry consumes about 278 billion litres of jet fuel annually. Thousands of commercial flights have now been operated using SAF.

Now that SAF has been approved as suitable for use on commercial flights (and thousands of commercial flights have now been operated using the fuel), economically competitive feedstock supply is a challenge to sustain production. The worldwide aviation industry consumes about 278 billion litres of jet fuel annually. IATA (International Air Transport Association), analysis suggests that a viable market for SAF can be maintained when as little as 1% of world jet fuel supply is substituted by SAF (or, put another way, 10% of the world’s aircraft fleet is running on a blend of 10% SAF and 90% Jet A-1).

Substantial progress has been seen between 2013-2016 where a number of off-take agreements have been made between suppliers and airlines. As of September 2017, there were four airports worldwide that have regular supplies of SAF: Oslo, Los Angeles, Bergen and Stockholm. There are also a number of other airports currently exploring the possibility of regularly supplying SAF to airlines flying out of them. Trinity's business model has us producing and supplying SAF and Renewable Diesel to State and regional markets as well as teaming with existing established providers such as Air bp - Which has been innovating and shaping the aviation industry for more than 90 years. Supplying 6 billion gallons of aviation fuel a year. Fuelling 6,000 flights a day. As well as a network of over 800 locations. In more than 55 countries. That’s around four planes a minute and Shell Aviation -
Shell Aviation operates one of the most extensive refuelling networks in the world supplying fuel, lubricants, and sustainable solutions in over 60 countries. Shell boasts a supply refueling rate of an aircraft roughly every 14 seconds. A leader in the aviation fuel industry for over 100 years.

These globally rooted juggernauts have not only agreed to do business with small businesses and help them soar, they partner in key demographics and with small businesses holding specific certifications. Trinity has held these certifications since our 1st Airport contract. This trusted and established dynamic duo (although competitors), currently support over 90% of the world's largest and busiest airports, with conventional aviation fuel as well as ground fueling and where available SAF.

The SAF currently being produced by those we will model and collaborate with, can be used as a drop-in fuel with existing aircraft engines and airport infrastructure, requiring no extra investment. In its neat form and over the lifecycle it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. It is made from sustainably sourced, 100% renewable waste and residue materials.

Prior to use, SAF is blended with fossil jet fuel and is then verified to meet ASTM jet fuel specifications. In addition to helping customers reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions, Trinity is committed to making its production operations that are carbon neutral by 2035.

What is Renewable Jet Fuel?

Up to 80% smaller carbon footprint compared to fossil jet fuel. The fuel has a smaller environmental footprint compared to fossil fuels. Over the lifecycle, including the impact of production and logistics, Trinity Renewable Jet Fuel can achieve up to 80% reduction in GHG emissions compared to fossil jet fuel.

100% renewable waste and residue raw materials

Trinity Renewable Jet Fuel, is a sustainable aviation fuel, produced from 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials. The raw material we use for the production of the fuel include e.g. used cooking oil, agricultural and municipal waste, neat oils for fuel (mustard seed and other non edible oils), and animal waste fat. Trinity's fuels will significantly reduce local emissions, thus having a global impact on the overall reduction of greenhouse gases and healthcare costs associated with carcinogenic particulate reduction. While reducing harmful particulate emissions our fuel will burn clean – free of sulphur, oxygen and aromatics – with higher energy content.

Quality requirements

Trinity Jet Fuel will be chemically identical to conventional jet fuel. It will comply with the strict safety and quality requirements of the aviation sector andibe certified under ASTM D7566.

Easy to use 100% drop-in fuel

Additionally, 100% compatible with the existing jet engine technology and fuel distribution infrastructure when blended with fossil jet (D1655). Therefore, no additional investments or modifications are needed. The fuel in neat form is ASTM (D7566) approved. When blended with conventional fossil jet fuel up to a maximum level of 50%, the fuel is re-certified as D1655.

Excellent performance

With a high cetane number of 75 and above, Trinity Renewable Jet Fuel ensures an efficient and clean combustion. It has higher energy content compared to conventional fossil jet fuel. Lufthansa-test proved the excellent performance of Renewable Jet Fuel. 1,500 tons less CO2-emissions and 1% lower fuel consumption compared to conventional fossil jet fuel. The aircraft and engines performed excellently and the condition of the combustion chambers, turbines, and fuel systems of the engines has been exemplary both during and at the end of the trials. The aircraft's fuel tanks remained free of any damage or corrosion, and the fuel was of excellent quality even after long-term storage.

Excellent storage properties

Superior cold weather performance

With freeze points of -47°C and lower, Trinity Renewable Jet Fuel is suitable for operation in extreme cold weather conditions.

Commercially used

Today Renewable Jet Fuel is in commercial use in the market and the production volumes are being scaled up. Together with Air BP and Shell Aviation, TEES seeks to collaborate on supplying sustainable aviation fuel in the South Eastern U.S. markets, the Caribbean as well as Latin American nations and beyond. The fuel is also supplied to Lufthansa, and it is in continuous use in Frankfurt airport.

TRINITY Renewable Propane or Biopropane

Trinity will also produce a large-scale renewable propane production facility in the South Eastern U.S.

The first cargo shipment of renewable propane has been delivered to a major EU supplier, who will market and sell the product to its customers across Europe as BioLPG. Trinity's facility production capacity will be nearly 20,000 tonnes per year and exclusive, long term distributor agreements will be made to ensure consistent supply of roughly 130,000 tonnes over four years.

Biopropane (especially in Caribbean and Latin American markets), will enable users of existing fossil fuels to reduce their carbon footprint, without any modifications to existing gas applications technology. Biopropane can be used within a full range of existing LPG applications, from transport and commercial heating to retail leisure cylinders.

The Trinity/TEES production facility means that customers in our 3 markets will be able to use this new renewable product and enjoy its environmental benefits combined with ease of use in already familiar applications.

For Trinity, Renewable BioPropane will signify a major step in implementing our growth strategy for our renewable products.

The Southeastern U.S., Caribbean and Latin American Propane suppliers, will be proud to be part of this unique renewable energy project. Trinity Engineers will have accomplished a fantastic achievement. BioPropane will be very low carbon and extremely clean. The biggest environmental contribution that it can make is when it replaces existing high carbon solid and liquid fuels in homes and businesses located beyond the natural gas grid.

Trinity's refinery will primarily produce premium-quality Renewable Diesel from various waste and residues as well as vegetable and non edible oils The new Propane unit will purify and separate renewable propane from the sidestream gases produced by the refinery.
