UK-based Firefly Green Fuels has signed deals as it moves towards the commercialisation of its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) product, which uses biosolids (sewage sludge) as a feedstock.
The company has secured several memorandum of understanding (MoU) agreements with industrial partners including Anglian Water, Petrofac, Chevron Lummus Global (CLG), and Haltermann Carless.
Haltermann Carless is the owner of a specialist refinery site in Harwich where Firefly will soon build a pilot facility by 2027, followed by a commercial-scale plant by 2029.
""The signing of these agreements marks a significant leap forward in realising our ambitions to develop a sustainable SAF industry here in the UK,"" said Firefly CEO James Hygate. ""Opening up this new sewage pathway will bring new jobs and growth to the UK, helping us to secure a greener and more prosperous future.""
Firefly intends to introduce its commercial SAF product in the UK by 2030.
