Global SAF Alliance Formed to Deliver End-to-End Waste-to-Fuel Solution

Global SAF Alliance Formed to Deliver End-to-End Waste-to-Fuel Solution

Global SAF Alliance Formed to Deliver End-to-End Waste-to-Fuel Solution
  • New SAF alliance integrates full supply chain: Honeywell, Johnson Matthey, GIDARA Energy, and SAMSUNG E&A form a non-exclusive, end-to-end alliance to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from biomass and municipal waste.
  • Accelerated project timelines, lower costs: Integrated technology reduces time to market by over 15% and cuts capital expenditure by up to 10%.
  • Supports feedstock diversification and energy security: Leverages globally available waste streams to meet rising SAF demand and reduce reliance on food-based biofuels.

Four global industry leaders—Honeywell, Johnson Matthey, GIDARA Energy, and SAMSUNG E&A—have formed a strategic technology alliance to deliver a comprehensive, modular solution for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from biomass and municipal solid waste.

The alliance addresses a key bottleneck in the SAF market: the need for a scalable, feedstock-flexible, and streamlined production chain. The joint solution incorporates Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology and enables a single point of accountability across the SAF value chain—from gasification to fuel delivery.

The launch of our innovative end-to-end SAF alliance demonstrates the power of collaboration to address the world’s energy demands,” said Ken West, President and CEO, Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions. “As demand for SAF increases, the technology to expand available feedstock options becomes increasingly vital.”

Driving Efficiency and Speed

The collaboration is designed to cut project development time by over 15% and reduce capital expenditure by up to 10%, giving SAF developers a faster, more cost-effective route to commercialization.

The alliance targets the common challenges faced by SAF producers and offers a new way forward with greater speed and lower capital expense,” said Maurits van Tol, CEO of Catalyst Technologies, Johnson Matthey.Bringing such leading expertise together is critical in supporting our customers to reach the final investment decision.

Fully Integrated Expertise

Each partner brings a distinct strength to the alliance:

  • GIDARA Energy: Gasification and syngas production for feedstock conversion.
  • Johnson Matthey: Syngas-to-fuel catalysts and processing technologies.
  • Honeywell: Digital automation and process technologies.
  • SAMSUNG E&A: Global EPC capabilities and project execution excellence.

This alliance exemplifies what’s possible when expertise and ambition come together,” said Dr. Norbert Kamp, CEO, GIDARA Energy. “We are helping clients and communities realize the potential of waste as a catalyst for a future supported by cleaner energy sources.”

At SAMSUNG E&A, we believe delivering end-to-end SAF solutions requires more than innovation—it demands strong alliances,” added Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of SAMSUNG E&A. “We are building a resilient and scalable SAF value chain that will drive the future of sustainable aviation.

Long-Term Market Relevance

The alliance’s focus on non-food, waste-based feedstocks aligns with long-term market trends. The International Energy Agency projects that biofuels from waste and non-food energy crops will meet over 40% of total biofuel demand by 2030, underscoring the relevance of this partnership.

While Honeywell has announced its intent to acquire Johnson Matthey’s Catalyst Technologies business, both companies clarified this is a separate matter from the SAF alliance.

The alliance builds on Honeywell and Johnson Matthey’s existing collaboration on synthetic fuels, including methanol-to-jet and FT pathways, and is designed to scale rapidly with demand. GIDARA Energy, backed by Ara Partners, a private equity firm focused on industrial decarbonization, is positioned to drive innovation in gasification technologies.
