Technip Energies, Airbus, Safran and Tereos join forces to develop a Sustainable Aviation Fuel production project in France
The partners will fund engineering studies and permitting as the project targets about 160,000 tons of SAF a year.
- On Tuesday, Technip Energies, Airbus, Safran, and Tereos formed the Rebound joint venture to develop a large-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel production project at the Port of Dunkirk in France.
- Utilizing the Alcohol-to-Jet technological pathway, the facility aims to produce approximately 160,000 tons of SAF annually, contributing to European energy sovereignty and supporting France's industrial leadership in the energy transition.
- Technip Energies acts as the lead developer, while Airbus and Safran serve as industrial partners and offtake facilitators, with Tereos supplying the advanced ethanol required for the production process.
- European Union mandates require blending levels to reach 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050, addressing current supply shortages where SAF accounts for only 0.8% of total fuel consumption, costing airlines $4.3 billion.
- Commitments to fund the project's development phase, including engineering studies, have been made by the partners ahead of a Final Investment Decision, with the venture expected to be finalized in the second half of 2026.
