the opportunity
Global policies and corporate climate commitments are driving unprecedented demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The aviation sector is under increasing pressure to decarbonise, and SAF is the only scalable near-term solution.
Key drivers include:
The SAF supply gap across the region presents a unique opportunity for early movers. CR Fuels is positioned to respond with scalable, modular solutions designed specifically for the demands of Euro-APAC aviation.
At CR Fuels, we understand that location is critical to the success of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. That’s why we’re undertaking detailed site selection studies for VerdeJet One, our inaugural ATJ-SAF facility. This process considers feedstock availability, infrastructure access, permitting pathways, and proximity to SAF offtake markets.
But our decentralised model does more than optimise production, it enables regional transformation. Each CR Fuels plant will create localised demand for low-carbon ethanol, stimulating investment in the upstream conversion of agricultural residues, municipal waste, and other feedstocks into ethanol. Our model supports and incentivises the development of local ethanol production capacity, accelerating innovation in waste conversion technologies.
Over time, this ecosystem approach will make SAF more affordable, scalable, and regionally accessible, reducing the carbon footprint of both feedstock and fuel logistics while advancing the region’s energy independence and net-zero goals.
Abundant regional feedstock from agriculture, waste, and circular economy sources
Proximity to some of the world’s busiest and fastest-growing aviation markets
Increasing government and airline momentum behind SAF across the Euro-APAC region
CR Fuels’ modular model enables faster, lower-risk deployment compared to traditional infrastructure
