Milestone
Worley has completed the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) for Alfanar’s Lighthouse Green Fuels Sustainable Aviation Fuel project in Teesside, moving the development from concept into a technically defined, execution-ready stage and making it the first SAF project in Europe to reach FEED.
Technical scope
As FEED delivery partner, Worley provided an integrated engineering solution covering feedstock handling, gasification, Fischer‑Tropsch synthesis, utilities, storage infrastructure and potential integration with Teesside’s emerging carbon capture and storage network. FEED confirms the technical integration and engineering configuration for the facility.
Capacity and schedule
The facility is expected to produce 180 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel and 30 million litres of renewable naphtha annually from sustainably sourced biomass feedstocks, including forestry and agricultural residues. Alfanar is targeting a Final Investment Decision at the end of 2027 and anticipates commercial operations in 2032.
Execution certainty
Completion of FEED is intended to reduce project risk and improve cost, schedule and execution certainty ahead of FID. Worley’s UK team carried out the FEED work with support from the company’s Global Integrated Delivery experts in India.
