Topsoe and Sasol have signed a single-point licensing agreement with Canadian sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) developer SUSTAERO to supply technology for a planned biomass-to-liquids fuel production facility in Canada.

Under the agreement, Topsoe and Sasol will provide their integrated gas-to-liquid (G2L™) technology, combining Topsoe’s hydrogen production, gas reforming and hydroprocessing technologies with Sasol’s Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and product treatment technologies.

Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce approximately 3,200 barrels per day (bpd) of sustainable aviation fuel, with the potential to expand production to around three times its initial capacity.

The agreement supports the deployment of commercially established technologies for sustainable aviation fuel production as demand for lower-carbon aviation fuels continues to grow.

According to the companies, the integrated G2L™ process enables the conversion of renewable feedstocks, including gasified biomass or captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen, into synthetic fuels through a single-point licensing model that combines technologies from both companies.

The project comes as global SAF production continues to increase. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SAF production is expected to reach 1.9 million tonnes in 2025, up from approximately 1 million tonnes in 2024, although this would still account for only around 0.6 percent of global jet fuel production. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has indicated that sustainable aviation fuel will need to account for more than 10 percent of aviation fuel consumption by 2030 under its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario.
