NEXTCHEM (MAIRE) awarded feasibility study for SAF project in Indonesia

The agreement includes the joint development of a small-scale modular SAF plant. The facility will be fed by regionally sourced feedstock, such as used cooking oil and palm oil mill effluent, with a production capacity of 60 000 tpy.

The first step of the collaboration envisages a feasibility study to evaluate the optimal design and configuration for the plant, based on NEXTCHEM’s proprietary technologies. NEXTCHEM offers a fully integrated package which includes the NX PTU™ technology, the hydrogen production unit, and the NX SAFTM Bio technology, an hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) proprietary process for a complete and smooth project deployment for SAF production. This process uses second generation vegetable oils and residual fats, which are pre-treated through the NX PTU™ technology.

The high-level of standardisation, coupled with a modular and compact design of the technology, allows a fast project execution and makes it ideal for small-scale plants in any geographies.

Alessandro Bernini, MAIRE CEO, commented: “This agreement is a testament of our commitment to leading the energy transition with state-of-the-art technologies and end-to-end solutions. MAIRE is effectively able to decarbonise high-impact sectors such as aviation by leveraging on its integrated approach ranging from project development to full execution capabilities.”
