Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer Firefly Green Fuels will construct the world’s first refinery that converts human waste into jet fuel. Firefly will establish the facility in Essex and expects to start supplying SAF in 2028. ✈️ The refinery in Harwich, a town approximately 86 miles (138 kilometers) from London, will turn biosolids from Anglian Water Services into SAF. Biosolids are organic materials that develop from treating sewage in a wastewater treatment facility. ✈️ Although SAF derived from sustainable sources can significantly reduce emissions, it is much more expensive than traditional jet fuel. Less than 0.5% of airlines’ current fuel consumption currently involves SAF. ✈️ Wizz Air has ordered up to 525,000 tons of Firefly’s SAF for its operations over the next 15 years. The UK subsidiary of the European low-cost carrier plans to have SAF comprise 10% of its operations by 2030. ✈️ Firefly COO Paul Hilditch said the UK has “enough biosolids [to produce] more than 200,000 tonnes of SAF” and that such facilities can “satisfy about half of the mandated SAF demand in 2030.” The company’s CEO, James Hygate, highlighted how turning sewage into fuel is a “cool” process. ✈️ Firefly’s next step is receiving approval by the Civil Aviation Authority for its SAF to be used in aircraft. The UK government requires airlines to have at least 10% of their fuel come from sustainable feedstocks by 2030. #sustainableaviationfuel #saf #biofuels #uk #unitedkingdom #firefly #wizzair #climatetech #sustainability #aviation
