Technip Energies, Airbus, Safran and Tereos have entered into an agreement to create Rebound, a joint venture to develop a large-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production project at the Port of Dunkirk, in Northern France.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released estimates showing that global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production is expected to reach around 2.4 million tonnes in 2026, representing just 0.8 per cent of aviation fuel use, at a cost to airlines of $4.3 billion.
Sasol and Topsoe have announced plans to reorganise their sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) partnership by preparing for the orderly operational wind-down of their joint venture, Zaffra, while strengthening their long-standing technology licensing collaboration through the Single Point Licensor (SPL) framework established in 2019.
Axens has announced a collaboration with Dragonfly to license Axens’ Vegan HEFA technology for the development of multiple sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facilities across Africa and the Caribbean.
ENOC Group signed an MoU with Abu Dhabi-based Allied Biofuels Holding to explore offtake and distribution of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Electro-synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF) across local, regional, and international markets.
DHL Express signed a 10-year offtake agreement with SAF One to source 250,000 metric tonnes of SAF from Bahrain starting in 2028, integrating the Middle East’s first SAF facility into DHL’s global network and supporting its 2030 sustainability targets.
Cemvita and Radix announced progress in front-end engineering for a circular bio-oil project in Brazil, focused on converting crude glycerin, a biodiesel byproduct, into ultra-low carbon intensity bio-oil used as a feedstock to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other advanced biofuels.
Egypt signed a contract with Qatar's Al Mana Holding for a first-phase investment of $200 million to produce sustainable aviation fuel from used cooking oil in the Suez Canal Economic Zone at Ain Sokhna. The first phase will have an estimated annual production capacity of 200,000 tonnes.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production to reach 1.9 Mt in 2025, doubling 2024 levels, but growth will slow to 2.4 Mt in 2026. SAF will account for under 1% of jet fuel, with high premiums adding $3.6 billion in costs amid limited policy support.
