Calumet (US1314281049) outlined a sustainable aviation fuel expansion targeting 200 million gallons of annual capacity by year-end 2028, giving Calumet stock a concrete operating milestone to assess. In its October 13, 2026 presentation, MarketScreener reported that the plan requires USD 137.0 million of remaining project capital, down from the USD 1.2 billion contemplated in the original Phase 2 design.

Three financing and operating milestones

Calumet's August 7, 2026 second-quarter release listed a net loss of USD 95.9 million and basic earnings per share of negative USD 1.09. The Calumet IR news archive attributed the result to non-cash renewable identification number and mark-to-market items.

On September 14, 2026, the company increased its asset-based loan commitments to USD 600.0 million and received a final USD 34.0 million draw under the Department of Energy loan, according to the Calumet IR news archive. That financing milestone matters because the October presentation describes the renewable expansion as capital-light and linked to operating cash generation.

What does the expansion mean?

The October presentation placed the current sustainable aviation fuel run-rate at 60 million gallons and described a path to 80 million gallons by year-end 2026, 120 million to 150 million gallons in 2027, and 200 million gallons in 2028. It also projected renewable product sales of 17,000 barrels per day and cited a 30 percent internal rate of return for a USD 50.0 million pipeline of specialty-product projects, according to MarketScreener.

Reporting date is November 6

Calumet plans to report third-quarter 2026 results on November 6, 2026, with a conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET, according to PR Newswire on October 6, 2026. The next report will test whether the financing and expansion timetable is translating into earnings and cash flow.

Operating scale remains the key test

Calumet manufactures specialty products and renewable fuels across twelve North American facilities, according to its investor relations page. The company reported 1,540 full-time employees in the latest company profile, while the presentation's 60 million gallon current run-rate provides a measurable starting point for the 2028 target.
