KEY FINDINGS OF STUDY The key findings of the study are as follows A small biofuel receiving and blending facility at the Sea Tac Airport Fuel Farm is the most cost effective solution in the short term and would also fulfill an existing cri tical need for additional local fuel receipt and storage capacity that is not dependent on the Olympic Pipeline. ny of the three refineries that currently produce Jet A fuel (used by all commercial jets) in Whatcom and Skagit Counties are viable options These refineries are the most cost effective options for receipt and blending of large volumes of aviation biofuel over the long term. Tesoro Anacortes was used as a proxy in the study to develop infrastructure and cost estimates. The Phillips 66/Olympic Pipeline Company site in Renton also showed potential to accommodate receipt and blending facilities for moderate large biofuel volumes over the long term. Focus should be given to short term investments smaller scale facilities that are flexible a nd could support other aviation fuel supply uses due to the lack of long term supply source for aviation biofuels. Identifying a biofuel supply source was not a part of this study. Facilities that rely on offloading fuel via rail and marine modes are only cost effective for large volumes of biofuel over the long term due to high infrastructure costs. The Olympic Pipeline Company and the petroleum refineries and distributors have showed strong interest in upgrading their facilities to handle aviation biofu el and moving the blended product in their pipelines. As the biofuel supply expands, the Port of Seattle, its partners, and the fuel supply and transport organizations could work cooperatively toward the ultimate goal of integrating aviation biofuel into the fuel hydrant delivery system at Sea Tac Airport.
