Phelan eFuels selects Honeywell tech for South African eSAF facility

April 1, 2026 |

In South Africa, Phelan Green, through its clean fuels subsidiary Phelan eFuels, has selected Honeywell’s renewable fuel process technology for its planned electro‑sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) facility in Saldanha Bay, Western Cape, South Africa.

Phelan eFuels will deploy Honeywell UOP’s Fischer Tropsch (FT) Unicracking™ process technology, which uses FT liquids and waxes made from CO2 to create eSAF that complies with aviation industry standards.

The new facility forms a core part of the Phelan Green Hydrogen Project, a R47 billion (approximately US $2.5 billion) private investment that has been formally recognized by the South African government as a nationally strategic green industrial development. Once operational, the project will be one of the world’s first commercial-scale eSAF production facilities supplying more than 140,000 tons of eSAF to the EU and UK markets.
