Technip Energies, Airbus, Safran, and Tereos announced Rebound, a joint venture to develop a 160,000-ton annual SAF facility at the Port of Dunkirk using alcohol-to-jet technology. Technip Energies leads engineering while Airbus and Safran serve as industrial partners and potential offtakers, with Tereos supplying advanced ethanol feedstock from agricultural and forestry residues. The project, now in the development phase with committed funding for engineering studies, aims to strengthen European energy sovereignty and support aviation decarbonisation. Airbus expects formal establishment in the second half of 2026, pending technology selection, permitting, and financing before construction begins.
