SAF – Shaphargroup

Empowering the aviation industry with traceable, premium feedstock and high-yield HEFA-SPK production for Jet-A blending.

SAF is the only viable, drop-in replacement to fossil-based Jet-A1 that can be deployed with current infrastructure. Through HEFA-SPK and other technologies, SAF reduces lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 80%, while improving energy security and airline ESG performance. Global aviation contributes nearly 3% of annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With air travel demand rising, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is no longer optional—it is the path to a net-zero future.

The EU SAF blending mandate (ReFuelEU Aviation) and U.S. SAF Grand Challenge are accelerating adoption. By 2050, SAF could replace over 65% of conventional aviation fuel.

At Shaphargroup, we are more than ready—we are already delivering.
