Shell has agreed a deal to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Green Sky Capital, providing commercial certainty for its plans to build Egypt’s first commercial SAF plant.
The plant is expected to begin operating by the end of 2027 and could produce up to 145,000 tonnes of SAF per year.
“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.
Shell delivers SAF to more than 80 locations across 18 countries and became one of the world’s largest traders and suppliers of sustainable aviation fuel in 2024 with close to 20% of the total sales in Europe and North America.
