In South Korea, Business Korea reported that Samsung E&A signed a contract with DG Fuels, a U.S. developer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects, for front-end engineering design (FEED) work on the U.S. Louisiana SAF production project.
Under the terms of the deal, Samsung E&A will carry out the clean hydrogen production package among the project’s two total packages. The contract value is $15.7 million, and the execution period is about 10 months. Following completion of the basic design, Samsung E&A is aiming to secure a follow-on order for the main project, which is estimated to be worth about $3 billion, according to the report.
The project, to be built in St. James Parish, Louisiana, will use abundant waste resources such as agricultural byproducts and woody biomass from the region to produce 600,000 tons of SAF annually. Samsung E&A will be responsible for blue hydrogen facilities including air separation units, autothermal reformers, and carbon dioxide capture, as well as green hydrogen facilities based on water electrolysis technology, the report added.
