Its role Offtaker
Boeing is a leading U.S. aerospace company that designs, manufactures, and services commercial airplanes, defense and space systems, and related technologies. Its portfolio spans narrow-body and wide-body jets, military aircraft, satellites, and support services for global aviation customers.
For the chemical industry, Boeing is a major end user and specifier of advanced materials and chemistries. Its products rely on carbon fiber–reinforced polymers, high-strength aluminum and titanium alloys, specialty resins, structural adhesives, sealants, primers and topcoats, corrosion inhibitors, flame-retardant systems, and aviation-grade fluids and lubricants. The company sets stringent material performance and qualification standards for coatings, composites, and elastomers used in airframes, interiors, and propulsion-related systems, and it works across the value chain on fuel specifications and certification, including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
Boeing’s global manufacturing and supplier network influences demand patterns for chemicals and materials used in aerostructures, assembly, maintenance, and lifecycle support. Its activities encompass materials research, process engineering (e.g., surface treatments and bonding), and environmental compliance related to emissions, waste, and hazardous substances in aerospace production and operations.

Moves FEED forward for a 50M gal/year RNG‑to‑SAF plant at Port of Walla Walla using Fischer‑Tropsch; permitting secured and start‑up targeted for 2031.
Will leave the CEO role on 31 December 2026 and support handover through Q1 2027; Board has appointed Egon Zehnder to run the external CEO search.
Outgoing people leader served nearly seven years and will support a handover. Successor joins 1 May and starts 1 July 2026, bringing HR leadership experience at Huron, W.L. Gore and Boeing.
Mil‑Spec and ICAO Level B certified; UL‑162 approved for fixed sprinkler use; compatible with standard sprinkler hardware and aircraft surfaces; PFAS‑free, biodegradable; validated for ARFF
The plant will produce 100,000 tonnes of SAF annually, cutting GHG emissions by up to 90%. KLM is the main off-taker. Construction follows a seven-year development phase. Completion is due in 2028.
Project Wigeon secures environmental approvals, moving to engineering phase. Facility to produce SAF from RNG, reducing emissions and boosting local economy by 2030.
Al‑Kaabi urged continued energy investment, said $70–80/bbl is needed to sustain output, flagged US LNG start‑up this year and North Field East coming mid‑2026.
SkyNRG's Project Wigeon aims to produce 50 million gallons of SAF annually in Washington, supplying major West Coast airports with support from Boeing and other partners.
