Luxaviation Group has signed a new 15-year sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) partnership with Haffner Energy. The non-exclusive offtake agreement in Europe will include fixed SAF volumes and price terms, the latter described by Luxaviation as being “within the lower end of current industry benchmarks.”
Due to be finalized in September 2026,&nbsp;the upcoming agreement formalizes discussions that have been ongoing since June. It builds upon Luxaviation’s “Go-to-Zero” investment fund, launched in 2023 to foster SAF production. Both parties are also members of Project SkyPower, an international initiative dedicated to accelerating the development and adoption of SAF.
Luxaviation describes the use of SAF as one element of a three-pronged decarbonization strategy that also includes improvements in fuel efficiency and the use of carbon offsets. Group CEO Patrick Hansen believes the partnership is “setting the benchmark for how business aviation can accelerate the scale-up of sustainable fuel production across Europe.”
Haffner Energy co-founder and CEO Philippe Haffner explained that the offtake partnership will “significantly facilitate the financing of [its] SAF projects in Europe,” including development of upcoming facilities in France and Iceland. “Securing long-term offtake agreements is one of the most crucial conditions for financing SAF production facilities, as they guarantee the purchase of SAF at a stable price over periods exceeding five years,” he concluded.
