Haffner Energy is set to establish SAF Zero, a dedicated spin-off aimed at the burgeoning sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector. This strategic initiative capitalizes on Haffner Energy’s proprietary technology, which boasts three decades of experience and 80 international patents, positioning SAF Zero to become a significant player in the SAF industry as demand grows. The SAF market is projected to attract over $1 trillion in investments by 2050.
SAF Zero will utilize Haffner Energy’s innovative SAFNOCA technology, which is capable of converting various forms of organic waste and biomass into syngas for SAF production. This arrangement not only provides SAF Zero with a comprehensive technology license but also generates new revenue streams for Haffner Energy through upfront fees and royalties. Additionally, it allows Haffner Energy to concentrate its efforts on the renewable hydrogen, gas (syngas), and methanol markets.
“We currently have two publicly announced SAF projects in progress, including the Paris-Vatry SAF initiative in collaboration with LanzaJet and LanzaTech, alongside a number of undisclosed bio-SAF and e-SAF projects across America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. We are actively seeking partners to enhance our visibility and expand our reach in the rapidly growing SAF market,” said Marcella Franchi, head of SAF at Haffner Energy. “Our technology supports various pathways such as ATJ, Fisher-Tropsch, and methanol-to-jet SAF, and it aligns with existing SAF mandates worldwide,” she added.
