Solarig unveils the development of a sustainable jet fuel plant in Soria, Spain. This project, located in the Parque Empresarial del Medio Ambiente (PEMA) in Garray, is projected as an innovative site for the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).

The presentation event, which was attended by the President of the Junta de Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, and the President and CEO of Solarig, Miguel Ángel Calleja, among other leaders and prominent figures, demonstrated the individual commitment.
[post_relacionado]The plant, called‘Numantia SAF’, is designed to produce 60,000 tons of SAF annually, equivalent to more than 12,000 flights from Madrid to Mallorca. With a total investment of 780 million euros, this facility will integrate renewable resources, such as a solar photovoltaic plant and a wind farm, together with energy storage systems .
The initiative will create more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing to the economic and social growth of the region. The construction phase is expected to begin in two years and the plant is expected to be fully operational by 2028, taking advantage of a 116,000 square meter plot within the PEMA.
Biomethane conversion and other resources
The plant will employ advanced technologies for the production of PBS from two different routes: biomethane conversion and the combination of biogenic CO₂ with renewable hydrogen. In addition, it will focus on CO₂ capture and utilization to contribute to the decarbonization of the aviation sector.

The development of the Solarig plant plant will address environmental challenges, and at the same time, respond to regulatory and environmental demands, to further the European Union’s programs to promote the use of PFS in aviation.
