Energy and chemicals group Sasol and carbon-reduction technology company Topsoe say they will be refocusing the organisational structure of their sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) partnership to prepare for an orderly wind-down of their joint venture (JV) Zaffra.
The two companies will continue to enhance their long-standing technology-led licensing collaboration through the Single Point Licensor (SPL) framework established in 2019.
Sasol and Topsoe have worked together for more than 30 years, combining deep technology expertise and a strong record of jointly commercialising complex and innovative solutions.
Since its establishment, Sasol acknowledges that Zaffra has played a key role in strengthening its partnership with Topsoe, building market insight, developing a quality pipeline and engaging with customers and value-chain stakeholders in the SAF sector.
As the SAF market continues to develop, Sasol and Topsoe have concluded that the next phase of collaboration will be best supported through a more focused and flexible structure, allowing the companies to continue working together where their combined technology offering creates value, while enabling more tailored approaches to selected projects, innovation activities and market-development opportunities.
