Honeywell process technology to help Verso Energy accelerate eSAF production
In North Carolina, Honeywell announced that Verso Energy, an integrated energy company focused on producing low-carbon molecules, will use Honeywell UOP’s eFiningTM methanol-to-jet processing technology to produce electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) at seven planned production sites in France, Finland and the United States.
Honeywell’s eFining technology uses carbon dioxide from biological sources, renewable power and hydrogen to produce a variety of electrofuels (eFuels), including eSAF.
“Efficient and cost-effective eSAF production will be crucial for helping airlines comply with regional adoption requirements,” said Antoine Huard, CEO of Verso Energy. “Honeywell’s proven SAF technology paired with our standardized design approach will enable us to quickly scale production capabilities and bring additional eSAF to the market sooner, helping to meet growing global demand.”
The demand for eSAF is projected to increase with the European Union’s ReFuel EU initiative, which requires aviation fuel supply to be at least 35% eSAF by 2050.
