To help address the more than 25% of global emissions caused by transportation, DG Fuels' mission is to provide 'drop in' cellulosic sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) at scale, then expand into renewable or green diesel fuels. Its advanced conversion process creates fuels that can be used in existing aviation and vehicle engines, achieving three times greater yield from biomass feedstock when compared to traditional biofuels production processes.
"Technology and innovation are the foundation of bringing our innovative fuels conversion process to scale," said Michael Darcy, DG Fuels, CEO. "Partnering with Emerson for its project expertise and automation portfolio gives us confidence in achieving our bold vision of being a global leader in synthetic jet and diesel fuel production."
Chosen for its deep automation project engineering and execution, backed by the industry's most comprehensive automation portfolio, Emerson will provide DG Fuels with a suite of advanced sensing, control, systems, equipment monitoring and production optimisation technologies and software that enable safe, reliable and sustainable production.
"SAF is a critical step in the energy transition of the transportation sector," said Mike Train, Emerson's Chief Sustainability Officer. "Meaningful progress will require innovative solutions across multiple sources of energy. We look forward to supporting DG Fuels' mission of creating high-yield, high-quality biomass-derived fuels at scale."
DG Fuels' previously announced agreements with aviation leaders for SAFs development and supply include Air France KLM, Delta, Airbus and GE Aviation.
