The fuel will be produced at a new facility located at Thames Enterprise Park in Thurrock, Essex. This site was most likely chosen because it was once an oil refinery. It will be the first place on earth that will turn landfill waste into jet fuel. Construction will start in 2015 and is said to be completed in 2017.

The facility is to give a near 150 skilled people permanent jobs for the foreseeable future.
