Infinium’s Project Atlas Wins SABA Next‑Gen SAF Procurement
- Project Atlas is a power-to-liquid eSAF project targeting ~100,000 MTPA of RFNBO-compliant fuel with ~95% lifecycle CI reduction versus fossil jet fuel.
- Infinium won SABA's next-generation SAF procurement to supply SAF certificates via a book-and-claim model aggregating corporate demand to enable project finance.
- American Airlines will take delivery and manage logistics as the physical user, with initial production expected by 2029.
Selection through SABA procurement
Infinium’s Project Atlas was chosen under SABA’s next-generation SAF procurement to supply sustainable aviation fuel certificates via a book-and-claim model that aggregates corporate demand into bankable offtake agreements to support project finance.
Project scope and performance targets
Atlas is a power-to-liquid eSAF project targeting ~100,000 metric tons per annum of RFNBO-compliant jet fuel with an estimated ~95% lifecycle carbon-intensity reduction versus fossil jet fuel, using waste CO2 and renewable electricity.
Regulatory and market alignment
The project is positioned to serve European demand under ReFuelEU Aviation, where a SAF blending mandate began at 2% in 2025, rises to 20% by 2035, and includes a synthetic eSAF sub-mandate starting in 2030, strengthening RFNBO market signals.
Offtake, logistics and schedule
Infinium submitted the proposal jointly with American Airlines, which will take delivery, manage logistics and serve as the physical user; participating corporate buyers are expected to sign long-term, financeable offtake agreements and initial production is expected by 2029.
