Technip Energies awarded an advanced biofuels unit and a green hydrogen unit at Galp Sines refinery in Portugal
In France, Technip Energies said it has been awarded Engineering, Procurement Services and Construction Management (EPsCm) contracts by Galp for an advanced biofuels unit and a green hydrogen unit for its Sines refinery in Portugal.
Both projects are part of Galp’s program to reduce the carbon footprint of the refinery and its products.
The Advanced Biofuels Unit, promoted by the joint venture of Galp and Mitsui, will have a 270 ktpa capacity and will produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from bio-feedstock and waste residues. For this unit, Technip Energies will work in consortium with Technoedif Engenharia, a large engineering firm in Portugal, to complete the EPsCm project.
The Green Hydrogen Unit, composed of a 100 MW electrolysis plant, will produce up to 15 ktpa of renewable hydrogen, using proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers which will be supplied by Plug Power, the company said.
Marco Villa, Chief Operating Officer of Technip Energies, said: “The Final Investment Decision for these two important projects is a major step taken by Galp to transform the refining industry in Portugal. Technip Energies, who has been supporting Galp strategy since the early phases of those two projects, is now delighted to be selected as a partner for the execution phase of both.”
