Firefly is a pioneer in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), creating our product out of one of the most abundant, continuous waste feedstocks there is: sewage. Firefly’s SAF has a life cycle carbon intensity over 90 percent lower than that of the existing fossil-based jet fuel. It can also be made anywhere in the world that there is sewage, meaning it offers real, global potential.

The team wish to thank everybody involved in putting together such a fantastic event, it was heartening to see so many innovators working to improve the UK’s water industry. #WIA24 #NEC #SewagetoSAF
Catch another brilliant write up of Firefly on page 3 of Air Cargo Week. At Firefly Green Fuels we are creating a brand new SAF pathway using sewage sludge as a feedstock. 💩➡🛫 Our revolutionary new SAF will help to significantly decarbonise air travel, whilst also helping to build a more circular economy. ♻

Our own James Hygate was front and centre at this year's IATA Aviation Energy Forum in Vienna. The Firefly CEO was there to discuss our exciting #sewagetoSAF technology and to share news of our recently announced project in Harwich where we will build the world's first refinery turning human waste into fuel. 💩➡🛫 This event saw global aviation leaders share the ideas and projects that will shape the green future of this keystone industry. Lots to be excited about as we head towards #jetzero
The 'Wet Networks: Managing Water for the Environment' event is next Thursday. Sign up to attend using the links below and catch our CEO James Hygate delivering a talk on Firefly's amazing #sewagetoSAF technology.
Fresh water ecosystems are at risk of irreversible damage resulting from human activities and climate change. When considering how we manage water for all, we need to consider nature as a key stakeholder. The good stewardship of water should protect, maintain and increase the health of our rivers and natural ecosystems. Find out how innovation is changing the way we Manage Water for the Environment at Wet Networks on 6 June 2024 in London and virtually and hear from: Guy Thompson, Wessex Water - Keynote Bethan Adams, Watermarq - Innovation presenter Corina Shika Kwami, PhD, Purpose - Innovation presenter Register to join in-person: https://lnkd.in/eVUK43g4 Register to join online: https://lnkd.in/eqJftiHe Olivia Daly, Felix Hughes, Elsa Germain, Francisco Fuenzalida Concha, Maia Diffey, Eoghan Kilroy, Dr Leo Carswell, Laura Hulson, Dr Mark Fletcher FREng The water innovation platform, Wet Networks, is hosted by Arup and WRc Group, supported by The UK Water Partnership, Spring, CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management), FutureWater, British Water, Water Industry Forum, UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) #WetNetworks #Innovation #ManagingWaterForTheEnvironment
Our COO and founding partner Paul Hilditch was at Farnborough International this afternoon to talk on a panel at this year's Sustainable Skies World Summit. This summit has brought together industry leaders from across aviation to discuss what a sustainable future might look like for the sector. Firefly's sewage-to-SAF technology promises to be a huge part of that picture. Once operational, our plant in Harwich will produce SAF with a 92% CO2eq saving compared to fossil jet fuel - an industry leading carbon saving. An exciting time for the industry, and for #netzero
Firefly are proud to announce that our sister company Green Fuels Ltd. was one of just 145 companies recently granted a Royal Warrant by His Majesty King Charles III. Prior to His Majesty’s Coronation, Green Fuels Ltd. had held the Royal Warrant for The Prince of Wales since 2013. The team at Green Fuels Ltd. have been integral to the successful launch of Firefly Green Fuels. We are extremely thankful for the hard work and dedication shown by each and every member of the Green Fuels team.
Congratulations to the 145 member companies granted a new Royal Warrant of Appointment to HM The King. Seven of these also received the first Warrant grants of HM The Queen. A momentous occasion for Warrants.
Check out the wonderful chat that our CEO James Hygate recently had with the Eco News team at Skai.gr. Firefly's sewage-to-SAF technology is a real game-changer for aviation, with a greater than 90% CO2eq saving versus fossil jet fuel. 💩➡🛫 https://lnkd.in/e4GyV7YA
Firefly Green Fuels are delighted to be attending the UKRI Sustainable Aviation Fuel conference today in London. Our team will be there talking about our innovative sewage-to-SAF pathway alongside 500+ global players from industry, academia, government, investors, and NGOs. Together we will shape the future of sustainable aviation fuel. 💩➡🛫 Sustainable Aviation Fuel Innovation Programme (SAF IP) Innovate UK Business Connect #SustainableAviationFuel #JetZero
Welcome news from UK Government - a mandate is being tabled that will set the scene for decarbonising the UK aviation industry. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is currently the only viable route to decarbonisation of aviation. A solid mandate will be a huge step towards supporting an emerging SAF production industry in Britain. Firefly Green Fuels particularly welcome the mechanism to incentivise use of SAF with lower GHG intensity, like ours, which should ensure that UK SAF is the most sustainable in the world. With our recently announced production facility in Harwich, Firefly Green Fuels will be able to produce around 43,000 tonnes of SAF per year. The UK produces enough sewage to support three of these facilities, with a potential to eventually make around 200,000 tonnes of SAF annually - equivalent to around 50% of the 2030 mandate. https://lnkd.in/eggQYfEW
