Flying Forest Limited

Flying Forest Limited is a privately held UK company incorporated in August 2024 and focused on developing sustainable transportation fuels from forestry biomass residues. Its core activities center on advancing integrated biorefinery projects that convert locally sourced non-recyclable forestry waste and renewable hydrogen into low-carbon green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The company's flagship initiative is Project Loonbird, a biomass-to-methanol complex under development in Iisalmi, Finland. Phase 1 targets production of approximately 180,000 tonnes per annum of bio-e-methanol using oxygen-blown gasification, syngas conditioning with CO₂ capture, and methanol synthesis technologies from partners including Casale, Sumitomo SHI FW, and Honeywell UOP. A subsequent phase plans expansion into SAF via methanol-to-jet upgrading, aiming for significant volumes by around 2035 with over 90% lifecycle carbon intensity reduction.

Operating from a registered office in Norwich, UK, with project activities and a presence in Iisalmi, Finland, the company is led by an experienced team including CEO Dr. Paul Groves and co-founders with backgrounds at Shell, BP, and other energy firms. It maintains strategic partnerships for technology, engineering, and offtake. As an emerging developer in the renewable fuels sector, Flying Forest positions itself as a platform for replicable green fuels infrastructure supporting maritime and aviation decarbonization, distinct from larger established players through its focus on Nordic forestry feedstocks and phased methanol-first approach.
