Willis Sustainable Fuels (UK) Limited, a subsidiary of Willis Lease Finance Corporation (WLFC), has secured approval from the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council for its Carbonshift PtL SAF refinery project at Teesworks in Tees Valley, England.
Recently, the plan obtained a £4.721 million grant from the Department for Transport‘s Advanced Fuels Fund competition.
The project aims to generate fourteen kilotonnes of power-to-liquid (PtL) SAF annually.
The UK Government’s target is to have a minimum of five commercial-scale SAF plants under construction by 2025.
Austin Willis, CEO of WLFC, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are pleased to have the Reserved Matters Planning Application approved, marking a significant milestone in our project and our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the UK and global aviation sector.”
