Rueil-Malmaison/France – Axens has recently announced its collaboration with Green Sky Capital for the development of a 200,000 tonnes per annum (200 KTA) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility in Egypt, set to become the first SAF production plant in Egypt and across Africa.

The project will produce SAF from lipid-based feedstocks using Axens’ leading Vegan Hefa technology and is being developed on a fast-track basis with targeted production commencement by the end of 2027. The facility will support Egypt’s energy transition ambitions through local sourcing of used cooking oil and contribute to the decarbonization of the aviation sector while positioning Egypt as a strategic renewable fuels hub for the Mediterranean and African markets.

As part of the collaboration, Axens will provide its proprietary Vegan Hefa technology, integrated catalyst and adsorbent solutions, together with operational support and training services to ensure optimized plant performance and operational reliability.

In parallel with the project development, Axens and GSC have entered into a broader strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) focused on further enhancement and optimization. The collaboration has already resulted in significant SAF yield improvements without compromising utility consumption or by-product performance. These advancements are expected to materially increase SAF output per ton of feedstock processed, providing the GSC platform with a strong competitive advantage versus conventional SAF plants through improved conversion efficiency and overall project economics.
