Haffner Energy launches SAF technology

Haffner Energy launches SAFNOCA, an integrated solution that unlocks the pathway for the massive production of competitive sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Its patented technology of renewable synthetic gas production from diversified biomass and organic waste will play a decisive role in the decarbonization of aviation. Haffner Energy is in discussions with leading industry players (airlines, technology providers and project developers) to deploy SAFNOCA. Haffner Energy is targeting SAF production units from 2025 with a capacity over 35,000 metric tons per year, in line with aviation sector decarbonization plans. For example, Geneva International Airport in Switzerland consumed 410,000 tons of fossil kerosene per year in 2022, for 14 million passengers (the same amount of passengers as ...

Topsoe technology supports HF Sinclair’s biofuel production

Topsoe, a global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies, was selected by HF Sinclair as a technology provider for their production of renewable fuels at three facilities: Sinclair, Wyoming; Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Artesia, New Mexico. All three facilities have now successfully been put into operation and deliver renewable diesel into the U.S. transportation market. These facilities utilize Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology for the conversion of waste and bio-feedstock into renewable diesel. Henrik Rasmussen, managing director, The Americas, Topsoe, says, “We are excited to deliver technology for the production of highly sought-after low-carbon fuels to the US transportation markets. It’s a pleasure collaborating with HF Sinclair on these very successful projects.” Valerie Pompa, exe...

ExxonMobil announces methanol-to-jet process for SAF production

ExxonMobil today announced a unique process technology to enable the manufacture of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from renewable methanol. •ExxonMobil is focused on growing its lower-emission fuels business by leveraging technology and infrastructure. •ExxonMobil is engineering proprietary methanol to jet technology that will produce SAF when renewable methanol is used as feedstock. •This expands upon ExxonMobil’s suite of technology solutions that are engineered to manufacture SAF from other biofeeds. “SAF produced from renewable methanol can play an important role in helping the aviation industry achieve the transition to a net-zero future. Reaching that goal by 2050 will require a multi-faceted approach, including advancements in aircraft-related technology, changes to infrastruct...
