The Firefly team were invited to attend the prestigious annual Water Industry Awards ceremony, held in Birmingham, where they were announced as winners of the award for their work with Anglian Water.
Firefly was recognised for its innovative process that transforms biosolids, a by-product of water treatment, into highly sustainable biofuels, including SAF.
James Hygate, CEO, said: “We’re thrilled to have been recognised for this important award. The water industry are key partners of ours and have shown time and again their dedication to supporting emerging green technologies.”
A busy six months
This award follows a busy six months for Firefly, in which plans for the UK’s first sewage-to-SAF production facility were announced. The facility, which will be located in Harwich, Essex, will be realised with support from a range of key industrial partners, including Anglian Water.
The company has also announced a partnership with Chevron Lummus Global (CLG), a leading technology provider in the renewable transportation fuels industry.
CLG will provide bespoke refinery infrastructure, designed to optimise efficiency and flexibility while minimising emissions for Firefly’s commercial-scale plant.
Following the successful night at the glittering award ceremony, James added: “The team are hugely grateful to the team at the Water Industry Awards for organising a very memorable evening.”
