McDermott has secured a master services agreement (MSA) from Willis Sustainable Fuels Limited (WSFL) to support the development of UK-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facilities.
Initially, the contract will focus on the early engineering phase of a Teesside-based plant, which will have capacity to produce 50,000 litres of SAF per day.
To produce its SAF, WSFL will use either biogas-to-liquid or power-to-liquid technologies. The decision depends on the available and selected feedstock.
The intent is for the parties to enter a sole-source negotiation of the EPC scope in 2025.
