honeywell’s ecofining Technology To help supporT producTion of susTainable aviaTion fuel and renewable diesel
Acelen Renewables has selected Honeywell’s Ecofining technology to help support the efficient production of a targeted 20,000 barrels per day of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. The fuels will be processed at Acelen’s facility in Bahia, Brazil, from a blend of inedible seed and waste oils. With this agreement, Acelen Renewables becomes the 50th site to license Honeywell’s renewable fuels technology. Honeywell’s Ecofining process, which was
developed in collaboration with Eni SpA, offers a capital- and cost-effective solution for processing waste fats, oils and greases into renewable diesel and SAF. Blended with conventional jet fuel, the use of SAF can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional fossil fuels. Ecofining has
emissions, particularly in air travel. “The dramatic growth in demand for
renewable fuels technology illustrates that fuel producers are accelerating adoption of solutions to help meet ambitious decarbonisation goals,” said Ken West, president and CEO of Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions. “Our 50th license is testament to Honeywell’s leadership in renewable fuels. The milestone follows back-to-back years of solution launches that harness ethanol and e-methanol – to round out one of the largest ranges of feedstock processing
been in use since 2013 for renewable diesel and 2016 for SAF production, making it a proven tool for helping to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2)
