Case Study – Berkeley, UK
Green Fuels is the keystone SAF Technology partner for project FlexJET. The facility located on our site in Berkeley will be the first commercial, exclusively, waste to jet facility operating in Europe, providing a flagship demonstration of our SABR (Sustainable Aviation through Biofuel Refining) process. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 792216.
The entirety of production is already allocated to off-takers, but we will be expanding the facility in the UK and establishing further facilities in key markets over the coming years to meet the increasing global demand.
Case Study – Juiz de Fora, Brazil
Our facility within the metropolitan municipality in Juiz de Fora provides a complete closed-loop, net-zero carbon fuel to the municipality. Waste collected is converted in a FuelMatic advanced biorefinery into sustainable biodiesel that is used directly in municipal and utility vehicles. Over the coming years, Green Fuels as the technology provider for the Biokerosene and Renewables Platform in the Zona da Mata plans to scale the technology within Juiz de Fora and install a SABR (SAF) facility. Green Fuels is also engaged in reforestation activity in the region, supporting sustainable silvipastoral agricultural schemes to remediate degraded land.
“In five years, the project will have offset more than 2 million tonnes of carbon, restored approximately 75,000 hectares of land and removed 375,000 tonnes of waste oil from the environment or the human food chain.
The project will generate 400 direct jobs and over 1,000 indirect jobs in Brazil.”
Antônio Almas, Mayor of Juiz de Fora.
