Phelan Green selects Honeywell for its eSAF facility in South Africa
In South Africa, Phelan Green, through its clean fuels subsidiary Phelan eFuels, announced it 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 $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.
Construction of the Saldanha Bay facility will commence in the fourth quarter of 2026.
