Jet2 plc announces investment into SAF production plant in the UK
In the UK, Jet2 announced an investment into a new sustainable aviation fuel production plant to be constructed in the North West of England. The agreement will see Jet2 plc, which encompasses the airline Jet2.com, and tour operator Jet2holidays, invest an equity stake in the plant and expect to receive more than 200 million liters of SAF over a 15-year period. The Fulcrum NorthPoint facility, being developed by Fulcrum BioEnergy, is a waste-to-fuels plant which will be located at the Essar Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The company said that production of SAF is expected to commence at the plant in 2027 and when at full capacity 600,000 tons of non-recyclable household waste, which would otherwise have been destined for incineration or landfill, will be converted into around 100 million liters of SAF annually. The announcement means that Jet2.com will receive a significant volume of SAF produced at the plant once in operation.
