Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc seeking input into proposed jet fuel plant from band members
TK’EMLUPS — Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc (TteS) is seeking input from band members as it continues to discuss whether the proposed 7Mile Renewable Fuels Project “will continue to move forward.”
The proposed refinery is a partnership between Azure Sustainable Fuels, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc and the Sc.wenwen Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), formerly the Tk’emlúps Business and Economic Development department.
It would be used to turn vegetable oils into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which proponents say is already being used by carriers like Air Canada and WestJet.
While announcing an information session for band members on Monday (May 26), Tkemlúps te Secwépemc said there are two other locations being considered for this facility and that only one of the projects will move ahead.
