NorthPoint is a pioneering SAF project set to be developed at Ellesmere Port, within the newly designated Origin Green Industrial Zone — a leading hub for industrial decarbonisation in the North West of England.
Northpoint is an advanced low carbon fuel facility that will convert non-recyclable and residual wastes into around 135 million litres of SAF per year for use by airlines operating at UK airports.
We want to get your views as we prepare a planning application which we expect to submit to Cheshire West & Chester Council in 2026.
WHAT IS SAF?
SAF is a low carbon alternative to traditional fossil-derived jet fuel that can be produced from sustainable sources, such as non-recyclable residual wastes that would otherwise be incinerated or landfilled. Using SAF can reduce CO2 emissions on a lifecycle basis, compared to the fossil-derived jet fuel it replaces. It can also help improve air quality around airports.
