Shell has signed a long-term agreement to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Green Sky Capital, which has contributed to providing commercial certainty for investors to move forward with plans to build a commercial-scale SAF plant in Egypt.
Expected to commence operations by end-2027, when built, this facility could produce up to 145 000 tpy of SAF annually, alongside, bionaphtha, and biopropane, contributing to a reduction of up to 500 000 tpy of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.
“By securing 100% of the plant’s output, Shell is strengthening its global supply network for low-carbon fuels and helping aviation meet decarbonisation targets,” said Geoff Mansfield, Vice President, Low Carbon Fuels, Shell Trading.
This offtake agreement reflects Shell’s strategy to scale SAF availability worldwide and support airlines in meeting regulatory mandates and voluntary commitments.
