Tiryaki SAF
With Tiryaki SAF, established in line with our bioeconomy vision, our initial focus is on securing the plant-based feedstock required for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. Our initial focus is on securing the plant-based feedstock required for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. In subsequent phases, we plan to implement SAF production at our own facilities.
SAF, which provides an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels, is becoming one of the most important components of the global energy transition. Supporting circularity in agriculture and encouraging the use of green energy, this fuel has been at the center of Tiryaki Anadolu’s sustainability strategy since 2022. Since then, we have made significant progress, especially in projects focused on producing SAF from vegetable waste oils.
As one of the pioneering companies in this field in Turkey, we focus on the long term supply of raw materials required for jet fuel production. Building on Tiryaki Anadolu’s strong expertise in supply chain management, we have developed an innovative model based on vegetable and animal waste oils.
As part of this strategic progress, we have signed a 10 year supply agreement with one of Turkey’s leading energy producers. Under this collaboration, we have started to provide raw materials for the company’s pilot production. By collecting and processing waste oils, we aim to create both environmental benefits and economic value.
Last year, Tiryaki Anadolu achieved an important milestone by becoming the first company in Turkey to receive the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) CORSIA certificate. This certification officially confirms our capability to supply sustainable raw materials for SAF producers and supports Turkey’s national energy transition goals.
The first sale of ISCC CORSIA certified products produced at our Çorum facility was completed through Tiryaki SAF. This transaction marked a significant step in our journey to bring products that meet carbon reduction and sustainability standards into the circular economy.
This investment not only supports the production of clean energy but also encourages the transition toward a more sustainable, renewable, and circular production model in the agriculture and food sectors. The wider adoption of organic farming, increased use of renewable energy, and the growth of carbon trading mechanisms form the foundation of our commitment to a more livable and sustainable future.
