Public announcement of $1.3B project, positioned as Africa's largest planned biofuel facility. Pathway not specified; SAF fraction not disclosed.

23,000-hectare integrated agricultural biorefinery designed to produce SAF, bioethanol, and clean cooking fuels. Conversion pathway not yet disclosed publicly.

ICAO ACT-SAF Business Implementation Study (Dec 2025) recommends Mombasa refinery as the strategic SAF site. Refinery ceased fuel refining in 2013; SAF revival requires feasibility studies + basic engineering before restart. Could supply ~25% of Kenya's 2024-25 jet fuel demand.

Operating biodiesel plant using non-edible croton oil aggregated from smallholder collectors. Identified in ICAO Feasibility Study as a credible Kenyan feedstock pathway with potential for HEFA-SPK transition.

Sasol's existing Secunda complex is the world's largest commercial CTL/GTL facility; ATJ assessment under way per IATA + South African coalition. WWF estimates national SAF potential at 3.2-4.5 billion litres/yr.

The operator reports petroleum refining and Jet A-1 production. Biojet retains co-processing as an investigation candidate from earlier feasibility material, not a confirmed operator project. The reviewed operator source does not establish SAF production, accepted bio-inputs, investment approval or SAF capacity. Status date is Biojet’s review date, not an announcement date; the existing map pin was not re-surveyed.

First commercial-scale dedicated SAF refinery (Paramount, California). Reference HEFA operation; widely cited in CORSIA documentation.

Largest SAF-capable production capacity globally as of 2024 (1 Mt/yr SAF nameplate post-expansion). Reference for HEFA scale.

European production hub for SAF. Co-supplies the ReFuelEU mandate ramp.

World's first commercial ATJ-Ethanol plant (Soperton, Georgia). Direct precedent for African ATJ pathways using sugarcane molasses (Kenya) or cassava-derived ethanol (Nigeria).

First large-scale ethanol-to-jet project in Latin America; Honeywell technology (UOP). Covered in our Week 16 brief.

Refinery-conversion model: legacy fossil refinery retrofitted to renewable diesel + SAF. Direct relevance to Mombasa + Dangote conversion strategies.

First commercial-scale electrochemical CO₂-to-jet plant. PtL/eFuel reference for African green-hydrogen pathways (Morocco, Egypt, Mauritania, Namibia).

Project Atlas (Houston-area) named winner of Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance Next-Gen SAF Procurement (covered in our Week 16 brief).

Conversion of existing Reno, Nevada renewable diesel facility to SAF production. Featured in our Week 18 brief.

$6B announcement; details sparse. Captured for cross-region context.
