In Egypt, Aviation Week reported that Egypt has moved a step closer to establishing its first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel plant after Shell signed a long-term agreement to purchase SAF from Green Sky Capital, a regional renewable-fuel development platform.
The agreement is expected to give investors the commercial certainty needed to advance plans for the new facility which is expected to commence operations by end-2027, according to the report.
When built, the facility could produce up to 145,000 metric tons of SAF annually, alongside bionaphtha and biopropane, contributing to a yearly reduction of up to 500,000 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions, the report added.
“By securing 100% of the plant’s output, Shell is strengthening its global supply network for low-carbon fuels and helping aviation meet decarbonization targets” says Geoff Mansfield, VP of low carbon fuels, Shell Trading.
