Tereos and Technip Energies Create Joint Venture to Produce SAF in France. Project foresees annual production of 160,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel from advanced ethanol. Tereos and Technip Energies announced last week the creation of Rebound, a joint venture focused on developing a large-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production project in the Port of Dunkirk, in northern France. According to the companies, the future plant will use Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) technology, which converts ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel, with an estimated capacity to produce approximately 160,000 tons of SAF per year. The venture is expected to become one of the largest facilities of its kind in Europe. With the formalization of the partnership, the companies committed to financing the project development phase, which includes engineering studies, technical assessments, and other activities necessary for the Final Investment Decision (FID). In this stage, Technip Energies will act as the lead developer of the project and be responsible for engineering services. Tereos will be responsible for supplying and acquiring the advanced ethanol that will serve as raw material for the production of SAF. The project also has the support of the Port of Dunkirk, which granted Technip Energies an industrial area for the implementation of the unit. According to the companies, the location offers logistical advantages for the transport of raw materials and the fuel produced, in addition to facilitating the licensing processes. The next steps include the selection of the technology licensor, the development of pre-FEED and FEED studies (basic and detailed engineering), the conclusion of raw material supply and SAF marketing contracts, as well as the structuring of financing for the construction of the plant.
