Chinese company to use Honeywell Ecofining technology for SAF production

In China, Honeywell announced that Sichuan Jinshang Environmental Protection Technology Co. (JSRE) will use Honeywell Ecofining technology to produce nearly 300,000 tpy (approximately 6,000 bpd of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its newly planned facility in Suining, Sichuan Province, China. This project will promote the accelerated adoption of SAF, and, once completed, the facility is expected to be one of the largest SAF plants in China.

Honeywell UOP will provide its Ecofining technology, catalysts, and equipment for JSRE to produce SAF using feedstocks such as used cooking oils and animal fats. JSRE will be able to expand SAF production capacity in China, and support efforts to reduce carbon emissions and aid in the sustainable development of China’s aviation industry through the use of Honeywell’s ready-now technology.
