Strengthening Partnerships in Sustainable Aviation Fuel Sector
Vitry-le-François, France / Luxembourg – Haffner Energy, an innovative leader in the production of clean fuels from solid biomass, is expanding its collaboration with Luxaviation Group, a prominent name in the business aviation industry. This partnership aims to revolutionize sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production through a new non-exclusive 15-year offtake agreement in Europe, featuring fixed volume and price terms.
The relationship between Luxaviation and Haffner Energy had its inception when Luxaviation expressed its commitment to SAF by showing interest in SAF Zero earlier this year. This latest agreement signifies a monumental step for both companies as they transition from concept to reality in sustainable aviation.
Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “This agreement marks a decisive move from vision to reality. Securing long-term SAF supply is a commitment to our clients and the industry’s future. Together, we are setting the benchmark for how business aviation can accelerate the scale-up of sustainable fuel production across Europe.”
With one of the largest fleets of private aircraft worldwide, Luxaviation is dedicated to aviation’s decarbonization through an innovative three-pronged approach. This strategy includes enhancing fuel efficiency, increasing SAF utilization, and transitioning to electrification of ground operations while offsetting remaining greenhouse gas emissions. The company has been publishing its sustainability progress in annual reports since 2021 and recently launched the “Go-to-Zero” Investment Fund to support SAF production initiatives.
Haffner Energy’s CEO, Philippe Haffner, highlighted the significance of this partnership by stating, “This offtake partnership will greatly assist in financing our SAF projects in Europe. Long-term agreements are essential as they ensure stable purchases at set prices for over five years.”
Haffner Energy leverages over three decades of industry experience to design and implement cutting-edge clean fuel solutions, utilizing diverse biomass residues, including agricultural and municipal waste. The company is advancing several SAF projects in various locations, including notable developments in France and Iceland, aiming for full production capability by 2030 to meet the new European SAF blending mandates.
In this shared vision, both Luxaviation and Haffner Energy are also active members of Project SkyPower, a global initiative geared towards accelerating SAF adoption and development.
