Greenergy has announced its entry into the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) market with a new plant planned on Teesside. The company has submitted a planning application for two renewable fuel plants located at the same complex, one of which will be the UK’s first plant creating SAF from waste oils.
Using existing technologies, waste oils will be manufactured into sustainable aviation fuel, reducing aviation emissions by up to 80 percent. The second project planned for the site will convert end-of-life tyres into recovered carbon black and low carbon road and marine transport fuels.
According to Christian Flach, CEO of Greenergy, these projects are part of the company’s strategy to support the UK’s energy transition through the production and distribution of waste-derived renewable products. The location on Teesside will help Greenergy expand its presence in the area and create more local jobs.
Councillor Nigel Cooke, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Housing, has expressed excitement for the plans, stating that the hundreds of jobs and opportunities this project is set to create will bring a massive boost to the local economy.
Construction of the plant is set to begin in 2025, subject to the successful planning approval process, and commercial production will commence in 2027. Greenergy is proud to be entering the SAF market and looks forward to contributing to the UK’s energy transition through the production of waste-derived renewable products.
