KBR Tech Selected for Northern Europe’s Largest SAF Plant in Latvia
Baltic SAF producer NorSAF has selected KBR Inc.'s proprietary PureSAF technology — originally developed by Swedish Biofuels AB — for a project in Latvia designed to produce 100,000 tonnes of SAF and e-SAF annually, which would make it the largest such facility in Northern Europe. The plant uniquely combines green hydrogen, bioethanol, and captured biogenic CO2 to produce drop-in jet fuel requiring no blending. Backed by aviation services group Avia Solutions, the project targets a final investment decision in early 2027 and full operations by 2030, with supply planned for airlines across the Baltics and broader European markets.
