Shell has signed a long-term offtake agreement with Green Sky Capital to purchase all future sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced at Egypt’s first commercial-scale SAF plant. The deal provides crucial commercial certainty for investors, enabling the project to move forward toward construction and commissioning by the end of 2027. The facility is expected to produce up to 145,000 tons of SAF annually, along with bio-naphtha and bio-propane, reducing as much as 500,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions each year.

Jeff Mansfield, Vice President of Low Carbon Fuels at Shell Trading, said the agreement strengthens Shell’s global low-carbon fuel network and supports aviation’s decarbonization goals. As of July 2025, Shell has supplied SAF to more than 80 locations across 18 countries and emerged as one of the largest SAF traders in 2024, with nearly 20% market share in Europe and North America. The new offtake deal underscores Shell’s strategy to scale SAF supply and help airlines meet regulatory and voluntary emissions commitments.
