Nacero to produce SAF at its future Texas facility

In Texas, Nacero said it will transition its current pre-construction facility in Texas, designed to produce low carbon gasoline to the production of sustainable aviation fuel and lower carbon aviation fuel. When fully completed, Nacero’s facility in Texas will be the largest commercial scale facility in the US for producing SAF and LCAF utilizing TOPSOE’s MTJet technology, the company said. Nacero will produce SAF and LCAF from renewable natural gas (RNG) sourced from dairy farms and landfills, and from mitigated flared gas sourced in the Permian Basin. “Topsoe fully supports Nacero’s decision to shift its focus to SAF and LCAF production given the challenge of meeting 2030 and 2050 consumption goals of renewable jet fuel. We have been working very closely with Nacero’s experienced project team to implement Topsoe NG to gasoline process (TIGAS) and we are very excited about the opportunity to continue this successful collaboration while building a scalable solution to meet the world’s growing demand for SAF and LCAF,” said Henrik Rasmussen, Topsoe’s Managing Director for the Americas region. Nacero will leverage already complete project development work, site permitting, and extensive engineering and construction planning for the earlier proposed TIGAS gasoline project. This work will be updated by TOPSOE and Nacero with minimal design modifications required to enable utilization of the very similar MTJet process.
