Solarig is progressing the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects with a portfolio that exceeds 400,000 tons of annual SAF production in Spain. Specifically, Solarig announced today the development of a sustainable aviation fuel production plant in Teruel. The project, named ‘Turboleta SAF,’ will have a production capacity of more than 75,000 tons of SAF annually—equivalent to 33,000 flights between Zaragoza and London (based on a 50% SAF blend). Located in the Platea industrial park in Teruel and spanning approximately 10 hectares, the plant is expected to be operational before 2030.

In light of COP29 and the urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions, Solarig underscores the importance of SAF as a critical tool for the decarbonization of the aviation sector, which accounts for nearly 14% of global CO2 emissions attributable to transportation. This project will enable the decarbonization of 340,000 tons of CO2 annually and the capture and utilization of 160,000 tons of CO2 each year.
