Who we are
Lighthouse Green Fuels is building the largest advanced second-generation SAF facility of its kind globally in Teesside. Backed by Alfanar Projects' global energy expertise, our team is united by a single purpose: to cut aviation emissions at scale with proven, ready-to-deploy sustainable aviation fuel.
Vision, Mission & Values
Our Mission
Lighthouse Green Fuels is enabling commercial-scale production of sustainable aviation fuel from sustainably-sourced biomass. Our mission is clear: to deploy proven, scalable technology that reduces aviation’s emissions today while creating long-term value for the UK and beyond.
Our Promises
We promise to cut real-world emissions by turning feedstock to flight and fuelling cleaner skies. Our technology is ready now, designed to meet the needs of today’s aircraft and tomorrow’s fleets. We build partnerships rooted in trust and transparency, and we are committed to leaving a legacy of jobs, skills, and growth for Teesside with benefits that reach far wider.
Our Values
Our values define how we work and deliver. We act collaboratively and with integrity, building open and accountable relationships. We are forward-looking, committed to sustainability, and proactive in finding solutions. Above all, we take responsibility seriously - with safety and honesty guiding every decision, keeping both our skies and our intentions clear.
Our commitment to net zero aviation
Aviation’s net zero future depends on new fuels at scale. We’re committed to delivering advanced SAF that meets international targets and creates lasting value in the UK.
The global challenge
Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. According to IATA, around 65% of aviation’s emissions cuts by 2050 must come from SAF. ICAO’s CORSIA framework points in the same direction: without sustainable fuels, net zero flight is out of reach. At a national level, the UK’s Jet Zero Strategy sets a target of at least 10% SAF by 2030 - a goal LGF is designed to help deliver.
Our answer in the UK
Lighthouse Green Fuels is scaling second-generation SAF at industrial level. By producing 180m litres of drop-in fuel each year, we are creating a practical, near-term solution that aligns with global climate targets and ensures compatibility with today’s aviation system.
United in purpose: a team with global expertise and local commitment
Lighthouse Green Fuels is led by experienced engineers, project managers, and sustainability experts, drawing on Alfanar’s global capabilities in clean energy and infrastructure delivery. Backed by 28,000 staff across 24 countries, Alfanar brings five decades of proven experience - from solar and wind to digital grids and industrial systems - to deliver the UK’s flagship SAF facility in Teesside.
From Teesside to the skies
Lighthouse Green Fuels is building Europe’s largest advanced SAF facility - a £2bn project on Seal Sands, Teesside. Each year, it will produce 180m litres of SAF and 30m litres of renewable naphtha, creating thousands of jobs and anchoring Teesside at the heart of aviation’s transition to net zero.
