Alfanar has secured £8 million (€9.2 million) in the third round of the UK Government’s Advanced Fuel Fund (AFF), marking another key milestone as the company’s Lighthouse Green Fuels (LGF) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project moves towards construction. The AFF competition provides grant funding to commercial and demonstration-scale projects in the UK at development stages up to construction. Alfanar remains the only developer to have been successful in all three AFF rounds, in addition to previous success under the Green Fuels, Green Skies competition in 2022. Alfanar UK country head, Noaman Al Adhami, said: “We are delighted to receive further funding from the UK Government via the AFF to help us realise our world leading SAF investment in Teesside. Coupled with the SAF Mandate and incoming Revenue Certainty Mechanism, the UK is well placed to be a global leader in SAF development.
