We are pleased to have advised Safran Corporate Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of the Safran Group, on the creation of Rebound, a joint venture bringing together Safran, Airbus, Technip Energies and Tereos to develop a large-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production project.

Located at the Port of Dunkirk, the project aims to develop a production capacity of approximately 160,000 tonnes of SAF per year, using Alcohol-to-Jet technology. By bringing together the complementary expertise of the four partners across the entire value chain, Rebound aims to contribute to the decarbonisation of the aviation sector and to strengthening European energy sovereignty.
