Firefly partners with Brazil’s Sanepar on feedstock

UK-based SAF developer Firefly Green Fuels has signed an agreement with Sanepar, Brazil’s largest water and sanitation company, to increase its access to sustainable feedstocks for biofuel production.

Under the co-operation agreement, Firefly and Sanepar will jointly explore opportunities to convert locally aggregated biosolids (wastewater) into advanced biofuels, including SAF, the report said.

‘Brazil has emerged as a global leader in biofuels, and the partnership with Sanepar solidifies Firefly’s position in this fast-growing market,’ said James Hygate, CEO of Firefly Green Fuels.

‘The MOU reflects our commitment to our mission – to decarbonise aviation and combat climate change. The Brazilian government has recently been actively promoting biofuels through legislation and incentives, and we are excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring to our company and future customers,’ he added.

Firefly also said the partnership with Sanepar is an important milestone that will ensure a stable and diversified feedstock supply for its SAF production, the report said.
