Axens expands its SAF portfolio via acquisition
In France, Axens, announced that it has signed an agreement with Air Liquide to acquire its Methanol to Olefins technology portfolio, including the Lurgi Methanol-to-Propylene. This addition expands Axens’ SAF portfolio through Axens’ Jetanol process chain, offering its customers an end-to-end solution for SAF production through the Methanol to Jet pathway (MTJ).
This technology portfolio will enable the conversion of Methanol into olefins, that can then be further processed into key products, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Within this portfolio, MTP™ is a well-established and industrially proven technology, with a strong track record of reliable operation at commercial scale.
Axens’ Jetanol suite currently offers SAF production technologies based on ethanol. The incorporation of Lurgi Methanol to Olefins technology portfolio into Axens offering, expands Axens SAF solutions to include a Methanol-to-Jet (MTJ) pathway, broadening feedstock flexibility and complementing existing solutions, the firm said.
