Petrobras selects Honeywell UOP’s ETJ tech for its SAF project
In Brazil, Honeywell announced that Petrobras has selected Honeywell UOP’s Ethanol-to-Jet (ETJ) process technology for project development at its REPLAN refinery in São Paulo, Brazil. Once approved, the project will deliver up to 10,000 barrels per day of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), representing the first large-scale ETJ initiative in Latin America.
By leveraging ethanol from Brazil—recognized as one of the world’s most efficient biofuel industries—the proposed REPLAN ETJ facility is expected to help domestic and international airlines cut lifecycle emissions and broaden access to renewable jet fuel. The initiative reinforces Brazil’s position as a future leader in SAF production.
