Argentina’s first SAF plant to invest $200m

The Bahia Energy group will invest around US$200 million in Buenos Aires to build the country’s first bioethanol plant and the first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant, according to Argentina’s El Nacional newspaper.

The project will be carried out by its company Biosanfe, which will build an industrial complex to produce biofuels (ethanol, SAF and bio-methanol) from corn. The project is expected to create 600 construction jobs, followed by some 180 qualified jobs.
