Special relationship to boost SAF supply

Synagro Technologies and Firefly Green Fuels have partnered to bring Firefly’s novel fuel production techniques to the American market.
Synagro, a North American provider of sustainable solutions for biosolids, organics and residuals, has agreed to be the exclusive supplier of the biosolids feedstock used in Firefly’s innovative process.
This partnership will enable Firefly’s groundbreaking sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production pathway to scale across the country.
Firefly has developed a unique process to turn biosolids into a product slate of highly sustainable, high-performance fuels, including SAF.
The company uses a process known as hydrothermal liquefaction, which chemically alters biosolids waste, breaking it down into biocrude and biochar.
The crude is then upgraded into SAF, and the remaining biochar goes to various other uses.
Independent analysis by Cranfield University has shown Firefly’s SAF offers a highly significant 92% CO2e saving versus fossil jet fuel.
