France-based clean fuels producer Haffner Energy SA and global business aircraft operator Luxaviation Group have signed a 15-year non-exclusive offtake agreement for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Europe, reports Renewables Now.
The deal covers fixed volumes and pricing of SAF, which both companies say will provide stability for long-term planning. Haffner Energy CEO Philippe Haffner said the agreement would play a key role in securing financing for the company’s upcoming SAF projects in Europe. The firm, which specialises in converting solid biomass into clean fuels, is already developing SAF production sites in France and Iceland.
For Luxaviation, one of the world’s largest business jet operators, the deal marks a significant step toward ensuring reliable access to cleaner fuels. “This agreement marks a decisive move from vision to reality,” said Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group. “For Luxaviation, securing long-term SAF supply is not only an investment in our operations – it is a commitment to our clients and to the industry’s future.”
The partnership between the two companies began in June when Luxaviation expressed interest in SAF Zero, a dedicated SAF-focused entity.
Industry observers note that long-term offtake agreements such as this are critical for scaling up SAF production, providing both financial security for developers and supply certainty for aviation companies under pressure to decarbonise.
