Notice is hereby given that LGF Projects Limited (‘Applicant’) (1-6 Lombard Street, London, United Kingdom, EC3V 9AA), a company owned by Alfanar Group, proposes to submit a development consent order (DCO) application to the Secretary of State (SoS) under Section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 (‘the 2008 Act’) for the Lighthouse Green Fuels Project (‘the Proposed Development’), a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production facility in Teesside.

The Applicant has a duty to publicise the proposed Application under Section 48 of the 2008 Act in line with Regulation 4 of the 2009 Regulations. In accordance with those provisions, this notice summarises the main proposals and explains where the consultation documents can be viewed.

The Proposed Development is located at a main site at Seal Sands Road, Seal Sands, Stockton-on-Tees, within the administrative boundary of Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. The site comprises both the main site and various connection corridors, some extending into the administrative area of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council. The Proposed Development replaces the previous Lighthouse Green Fuels application for a site at Port Clarence off Huntsman Drive in Seal Sands, which underwent statutory consultation in May to June 2024. This earlier project is no longer being progressed and has been withdrawn.

The Proposed Development’s main components for are:

• Sustainable Aviation Fuel production plant;

• A new quay on the north bank of the River Tees with ship loading/offloading infrastructure;

• Feedstock storage and pre-treatment facility;

• A main gasification facility to process sustainably-sourced biomass;

• Syngas clean-up apparatus;

• Fischer Tropsch process units;

• Refining units;

• Intermediates and finished product storage;

• A biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) generating station to provide electricity, steam and heat to support the operation of the Proposed Development; and

• Supporting infrastructure including access tracks, security measures, gates and fencing, lighting, drainage infrastructure, storage containers and utility connections.

In addition, any necessary rights and powers will be sought to ensure delivery of the Proposed Development, including compulsory acquisition if needed.

The Proposed Development is also an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) development, as defined by the 2017 EIA Regulations. An Environmental Statement will therefore be submitted as part of the proposed application, which will contain information about the environmental effects of the Proposed Development.
