Aviation Pioneers: Green Jet Fuel for a Sustainable Future
The Next Era of Aviation
Bold Innovation has driven every defining chapter in aviation. Today, the industry stands at another pivotal moment: decarbonising flight while preserving the global connectivity that underpins economies, trade, and prosperity.
Nature, Technology & Innovation
Phelan eFuels combines world-class renewable resources, green hydrogen, sustainably sourced biogenic carbon and advanced engineering to produce electro Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF), reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95%. Fully compatible with today’s aircraft, engines and airport infrastructure, eSAF cuts airline emissions and lets millions of passengers fly greener without changing the aircraft or airports they use.
With Europe alone needing 25–28 million tonnes of eSAF annually by 2050, Phelan is developing the scalable capacity needed to power the next generation of aviation.

SCALABLE eSAF PRODUCTION FOR GLOBAL AVIATION, WITH FIRST DELIVERY BY 2028.
Building the Future of Sustainable Flight
Phelan eFuels, a division of Phelan Green Group, is developing world-scale eSAF production facilities to meet the rapidly growing demand for lower-carbon aviation fuel. Powered by renewable energy and advanced production technology, our projects are designed to deliver meaningful emissions reductions and supply global aviation markets at commercial scale. With first production targeted for 2028 from our new €1.2 billion investment in Hopefield, we are moving beyond ambition to build the infrastructure, capacity and partnerships required for aviation’s lower-carbon future.
A Fully Integrated Development Approach
Land
Securing large-scale sites in regions with strong renewable energy resources, access to sustainable feedstocks and the space required for integrated eSAF production and energy infrastructure.
Port Access
Prioritising strategic coastal locations with access to deep-water ports, established logistics infrastructure and efficient routes to global aviation fuel markets.
Permits
Managing the environmental, regulatory and planning approvals required to move complex energy and industrial projects from development towards construction and operation.
Technology & Technical Design
Combining advanced eSAF technology with integrated renewable energy and infrastructure design. Through our partnership with Honeywell, we are developing the technical foundation for efficient, scalable eSAF production.
Market
Building long-term relationships with airlines, fuel companies and industry partners to secure off-take agreements and connect future production with growing global demand.
Funding
Structuring and raising the project finance and equity capital required to develop, construct and operate world-scale eSAF and renewable energy projects.
