Qatar\u2019s Al Mana Holding is establishing a foothold in the <\/strong>Suez Canal\u2019s logistics value chain, <\/strong>deploying USD 200 mn<\/a> to establish a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant in Ain Sokhna. This marks the first Qatari industrial investment in the SCZone and the opening move in a broader USD 2-2.5 bn industrial play from the Qatari private sector and government, a government source tells EnterpriseAM.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What we know: <\/strong>The project will be managed by Al Mana\u2019s subsidiary Green Sky Capital via the project vehicle SAFFly Egypt<\/a>. The facility will span 100k sqm \u2014 with 30k sqm dedicated specifically to Sokhna Port for export infrastructure \u2014 and is expected to produce 200k tons of SAF and bio-byproducts annually by the end of 2027, all derived from refined used cooking oil (UCO).<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The project achieved a big milestone last week after <\/strong>securing long-term<\/a><\/strong>agreement<\/a><\/strong> to purchase the full production of the project, <\/strong>providing certainty for investors that are long-wary of the lack of offtake agreements for alternative fuels production projects. <\/p>\n

SAFFly could plug into a new government-backed collection system for used cooking oil<\/strong>, the feedstock for SAF. The Madbouly government has been working to formalize the supply chain for used cooking oil, having recently launched a collection system<\/a> that targets 500k tons by 2030 and 730k tons by 2035.<\/p>\n

Competition for spent French-fry oil? <\/strong>The state\u2019s own planned USD 530 mn<\/a> SAF complex in Alexandria \u2014 which is being developed with technology licensing from Honeywell<\/a> \u2014 also needs cooking oil as feedstock.<\/p>\n

This is the Qatari diversification play going live. <\/strong>Until now, the Qatari pipeline has been top-heavy with real estate assets \u2014 like the USD 3.5 bn Alam El Roum<\/a> project. The new plant unlocks a high-value investment track targeting the logistics industry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
