In Florida, Willis Lease Finance Corporation, a lessor of commercial aircraft engines and provider of global aviation service operations, announced a project to develop and produce Power-to-Liquid sustainable aviation fuel. The company and its subsidiary, Willis Sustainable Fuels (UK) Limited, along with financial and strategic partners, are advancing plans toward a new SAF refinery in northeastern England.
“Building on our valued relationship with Teesside International Airport, we’re excited to partner with local stakeholders to continue to advance our plans toward the first PtL SAF refinery in Teesside,” said Austin Willis, CEO of WLFC.
The new SAF refinery project completed feasibility studies in late 2022. The project is now in the front-end engineering design stage. The PtL SAF process is being designed to utilize feedstocks derived from CO2 and green hydrogen leading to substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, the firm said.
