Technip Energies, Airbus, Safran and Tereos have signed an agreement to create Rebound, a joint venture aimed at developing a sustainable aviation fuel production project in France.
The planned plant would be located at the Port of Dunkirk in northern France and is designed to produce around 160,000 tonnes of SAF a year using the Alcohol-to-Jet pathway. The partners will fund the development phase, including engineering studies and other work needed before a possible final investment decision.
According to the companies, the project would rank among the largest SAF facilities in Europe and is being presented as a contribution to European energy sovereignty. The joint venture remains subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, with completion expected in the second half of 2026.
