Firefly, Synagro join forces for SAF in North America

Firefly Green Fuels and Synagro Technologies have announced a strategic partnership to scale former’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production pathway across the United States.

“We are extremely excited to work with Synagro on this next phase of Firefly’s development,” said James Hygate, CEO, Firefly Green Fuels. “There is a huge future need for SAF in North America, and by working together we can bring operations online quickly, creating new jobs and vast volumes of truly sustainable fuel.”

This collaboration will leverage Firefly’s advanced hydrothermal liquefaction process to convert biosolids, supplied exclusively by Synagro, into high-performance, low-carbon fuels.

“This is a perfect partnership with monumental implications,” said Bob Preston, Synagro’s CEO. “We’re pairing Synagro’s expertise in sustainable solutions for biosolids, with Firefly’s SAF technology to evolve the circular economy.”

As the demand for SAF grows, Firefly and Synagro are actively working to establish commercial operations in the United States, building upon the success of Firefly’s first-of-a-kind facility in Harwich, England.
