Sasol and Topsoe to refocus SAF partnership as Zaffra JV prepares for wind-down
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Sasol and Topsoe announced that they intend to refocus the organizational structure of their SAF partnership for the next phase of market development. Following a strategic review, the companies have decided to prepare for the orderly operational wind-down of their joint venture, Zaffra, while continuing and enhancing their long-standing technology-led licensing collaboration through the Single Point Licensor (SPL) framework, established in 2019.
Sasol and Topsoe have worked together for more than 30 years combining deep technology expertise and a strong track record of jointly commercializing complex, first-of-a-kind solutions. Zaffra was established in 2023 to bring together Sasol’s advanced Fischer-Tropsch fuel technology and Topsoe’s clean fuels technologies in support of emerging SAF opportunities, according to the report.
As the SAF market continues to develop, Sasol and Topsoe have concluded that the next phase of collaboration is best supported through a more focused and flexible structure. This will allow the companies to continue working together where their combined technology offering creates value, while enabling more tailored approaches to selected projects, innovation activities and market-development opportunities, the report added.
