Willis Sustainable Fuels Teesside SAF Project

2024

awarded

50,000 liters per day

SAF production capacity

Highlights

The project represents an important step towards the UK government's 2050 net-zero target

The project involves early engineering, execution planning and pricing for the EPC phase. The modularized demonstration scale facility utilizes biomethane as a feedstock to produce bio SAF via autothermal reforming, carbon capture, fischer tropsch (FT) and FT product upgrading processes.

VARO Alpha Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) / Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Production Facility

350 kTa

Total production capacity

245 kt/a SAF

remainder a mixture of bio-naphtha and bio-LPG and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)

between 100% SAF and 100% HVO

Full flexibility

Highlights

Provided Owner’s Engineering Services during the Basic Design and Engineering Package (BDEP) phase
Maximum modularization and prefabrication construction approach

The facility utilizes Tall Oil Fatty Acids (TOFA) and Used Cooking Oil (UCO) as feedstocks to produce HVO/SAF, LPG and naphtha via pre-treatment, hydrodeoxygenation, isomerization, hydrocracking, and fractionation processes.

GEVO Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Facilities

Expected to produce

up to 65 million gallons of SAF, diesel and renewable gasoline with a lifecycle net-zero GHG footprint

Generates 550 million

pounds of high-value nutritional products annually

Highlights

Engineering, execution planning and pricing for the EPC phase of GEVO’s Net-Zero 1 project
Powered by wind energy with thermal needs met by renewable natural gas
Includes green hydrogen and carbon capture components
Sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to fuel production
Renewable natural gas produced using manure from dairy cattle and livestock

The project involves engineering, execution planning and pricing for the EPC phase of Net-Zero 1. The modularized facility utilizes bioethanol as a feedstock to produce SAF via dehydration, oligomerization, hydrogenation and fractionation processes.
