Altalto

Altalto is a UK-based commercial waste-to-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project being developed at Immingham in North East Lincolnshire by Velocys in collaboration with partners including British Airways and technology provider NEXTCHEM. The facility will convert municipal and commercial solid waste that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated into drop-in SAF using advanced gasification and Velocys’ Fischer-Tropsch microFTL™ technology, producing around 30 million liters per year ( 24,000 tpa) of SAF with significant lifecycle greenhouse-gas savings relative to fossil jet fuel. The project has planning consent and UK government support via the Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund, integrating NEXTCHEM’s gasification systems with Velocys’ FT synthesis to strengthen plant economics and accelerate deployment. Once operational, Altalto is expected to generate more than 100,000 tonnes of annual CO₂-equivalent emissions reductions, support the UK’s SAF mandate, and power hundreds of long-haul flights annually, while advancing one of the most near-term commercial SAF solutions globally
