TotalEnergies to boost SAF production at Grandpuits refinery
In Tennessee, Oil&Gas Journal reported that TotalEnergies SE expects to more than double production of sustainable aviation fuel from its original 2020 plan as part of the company’s Project Galaxie conversion of its former Grandpuits conventional refinery in northern France into a zero-crude industrial platform.
The company has reached final investment decision to increase SAF production at the Grandpuits platform to 285,000 tons per year, up from an originally planned target of 170,000 tons per year announced in 2020.
TotalEnergies also confirmed it will proceed with construction of an 80-GWhr/year biomethane production unit (BPU) that will use a feedstock of organic waste from the Grandpuits biorefinery.
According to the report, TotalEnergies also confirmed cancellation of a previously announced plan by TotalEnergies Corbion PLA BV—a 50-50 joint venture of Total and Corbion NV—to build Europe’s first polylactic acid, or polylactide (PLA), plant at Grandpuits.
