In Japan, IHI and IHI ASIA PACIFIC, in collaboration with the A*STAR Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment in Singapore, held an opening ceremony on January 15, 2025 to mark the completion of a SAF production test rig for CO2 direct-conversion to liquid hydrocarbons, with a capacity of 5 kg per day. The technology streamlines the process by enabling a single step carbon dioxide direct-conversion to liquid hydrocarbons. This approach simplifies the production process, thus enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operational complexity, the company said. IHI aims to accelerate the SAF deployment through cooperation with various partners, eyeing ASTM approval in the latter half of the 2020s and commercialization of the technology around 2030.
