Green Sky Capital invests $239M in Sustainable Aviation Fuel plant in Morocco
What happened
Green Sky Capital is investing $239 million to construct a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production plant in Morocco’s Nador West Med port complex. The facility is designed to process used cooking oil, fats, and regional residues into green jet fuel using French Axens’ licensed Vegan HEFA technology. The project targets an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of SAF and receives support from Saudi Arabia’s Vision Invest, the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development, and the UN Green Climate Fund.

Why it matters
The advanced technology used in the project helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. This investment supports the strategic goal of positioning the Nador West Med port as a premier green energy and logistics hub bridging African and European maritime markets.
