Farnborough Airport Ups Its SAF Game
A new deal will see the airport receive more than 3 million gallons of SAF a year
Farnborough Airport
Under a new agreement, Farnborough Airport will receive more than 3 million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel a year.

The UK’s Farnborough Airport has signed a letter of intent with Hydrogen Refinery—a local developer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—to purchase more than 3.3 million gallons (12.5 million liters) of SAF annually. London-area Farnborough is already one of the business aviation industry’s largest distributors of SAF. It has sold more than a half million gallons of the blended fuel since it began stocking continuous supplies in 2021.

Farnborough CEO Simon Geere believes the offtake agreement—which is based on future developments—will help kick-start the country’s domestic SAF refining sector. With the UK and EU SAF use mandates instituted at the beginning of this year, he noted the lack of domestic production and investment in companies could impact supplies in the UK.
