SAF FIRST FOR MANCHESTER AIRPORT

MANCHESTER Airport will become the first in the UK to have a direct feed of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) thanks to a partnership between its parent, Manchester Airports Group, and Fulcrum Bioenergy Limited UK.

The fuel will be produced at a new biorefinery in Stanlow, Cheshire, and will have a CO2 footprint at least 70% lower than its traditional jet fuel equivalent.

It will be produced from residual household and commercial wastes otherwise destined for landfill or incineration.
